I bought a beautiful philodendron-like house plant for my wife's birthday at a florist shop. The sales lady didn't know much about it or even how to pronounce the name. She pronounced it Defenback. I don't own a digital camera or I would include a photo. Is this enough information for you experts out there to tell me something about this plant?

I think you are referring to Dieffenbachia or Dumbcane.

Here is a link to it:

Is this it?

Hi Lettuceman: What a great hubby you are .... wives always love plants as gifts! Here's the link to Plant Files on a bunch of different Diffenbachia plants. Maybe you can find yours in there!
