| ...with what looks like Spathiphyllum (peace lily) in the last pic. The top pic is too small to see well, to my eye. If you're in doubt about the suggestions, try taking pics after it gets dark, so there's no glare behind plants in the last pic, and adding a bigger pic of the first plants (if they are 2 different pots.) 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

| I think you are right Tiffany. What I thought was the leaf was just the stalks. After closer inspection is see the broad leaves in the background. wildflowersoftexas.com texasnatureonline.com |

I'm thinking the first one is actually a Ponytail Palm - I lightened them up a bit.  "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; No matter the skin; No matter the world; No matter the star; We are one. No matter the pain; No matter the darkness; No matter the loss; No matter the fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognize this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one." G'Kar |

| I don't see a flower in either photo and with my eyes it's hard to tell which plants but the first one might very well be a Spider Plant (Chlorophytum): Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) The last one does look to be a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum): Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum) ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| The 2nd photo shows a strap-leaved plant in front of a Spathiphyllum. |

| When I lightened up the first one and resized it bigger I'm really thinking I can see a caudice at the bottom. "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice.

| Dave: I do think I see the strap leaf plant in that photo; appears to be two separate plants in that container. Anne: I think I see a caudice in that one picture too so maybe it is Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) but the leaves sure look light in color. I think I also see a striped looking leaf on the lower right too so I wonder if it could possibly be this one: Maybe if Kathy could upload a few pictures taken from a distance we could tell more. ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| First one is Ponytail Palm, looks like one in too low of light. It will make their growth weak and whitish or light-colored like this. Second one is likely a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum). I don't think it's two plants in one pot, I think it's all the same plant (or multiples of the same plant in one pot). Look at the broad leaf on the far left and follow its stem - it leads right back to the base of the plant in the front of the pic where the seemingly "strap leaves" originate. The strap-like leaves are probably just broad leaves where we can only see the stem portion or the broad side is sideways to the camera viewpoint making them appear strap-like. |

| For Kathy to compare to her plant, I found another variegated "Ponytail Palm" photo in the database: Pony Tail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata 'Gold Star') ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| Mary, I'm confused. The plant in your very first two photos at the top of the page look to be a Pony Tail Palm, which has a bulb at it's base: Pony Tail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata 'Gold Star') The plant in your third photo appears to be Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii) Have you removed the soil from this plant and you're saying it has a bulb with roots emerging from the bulb? For comparison, here are some photos of roots of Peace Lily: https://www.google.com/search?... ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

I lightened up the picture and corrected the color. "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one.
