Did I win???

Boy, I wish I could say you won, but since I have no clue, I can't really say HAHAHAHA..

I'm gonna look them all up... I sure do appreciate this though!

Hey, think you could help me id this one? I got it from Lowe's. No tag...boy, that bugs me!

#6 looks like it may be parlor palm http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1479/index.html

Sweezel, I think you meant to refer to #4, didn't you?

Oops! Yes number 4 is the one that looks like it might be Parlor Palm. Thanks bivbiv!

Hope someone can help you..I know NOTHING about houseplants..but I'm learning!!!

That's a nice one though :)

I think they all got identified but this one...I received several different answers so I thought I'd post it again with a better picture to see if your great minds could figure it out..

How about a Hoya carnosa? Probably someone in the Hoya forum, could id it for you, exactly.

larry

Ummmm....that surely doesn't look like a hoya to me.

Looks like a variegated Schefflera that's been hacked!

I was thinking schefflera as well.

Number 6 looks like my peperomia

cjolene....I think yours is also avariegated form of Peperomia obtusifolia...... it has some nice varigation!

Thanks Nan ... I had my mom take a better picture ... I think it's Schefflera as well because that seems to be the consensus lol

Whoo hoo! Thanks Nan!

But I'm still thinking hoya for #2. Do any of these look like your plant?

I also got one from Lowe's a little while back and it's not the best looking plant by far. I was thinking I'd make it look nicer over time. So I'm a little embarrassed to post this plant and call it mine just now. lol But the leaves at the bottom look a lot like your leaves (I think it started growing in dim lighting at Lowe's and that's probably why it lost it's variegation at the top). The leaves feel kinda thick and stiff. How do your leaves feel?

Maybe?

Oops...forgot pic. Guess I was so embarrassed...lol jk

These leaves are really thin and variegation is yellow..they aren't waxy at all..nothing like my carnosa ..

I looked up Schefflera and I'm pretty sure that's what it is ..

Your peperomia is really pretty!

Glad you got it id'ed, even though I was wrong. hahaha It really bugs me when I want a plant from the store and there's no tag.

So, do I still get 2nd place?? lol jk

Absolutely!! You helped a lot!!

Thanks so much
