Will Creed will know the answer to this question. Shouldn't have to wait any longer than a few days for a response. Hang in there. I know it is frustrating not knowing the names and searching all over with no results. By the way cute lamp in the pix. Catlover

Hi Karen, Unknown plant #2 is an Angel Wing Begonia ... They like evenly moist soil and a dose of morning sun. Feed and prune her regularly to induce bushiness and a great show of flowers! They are easy to propagate by cuttings. #4 is some type of Sanseveria (Snake plant or Mother in Law's Tongue)... more help... even more info....
I'm sure that someone will be able to identify the other two plants before long!

Number 4 is a Snake Plant (Sansevieria)- I have one that looks almost exactly like it, in my bedroom. Number 1, there are a ton of those hanging around my work, but I cannot remember the name if it!!!

from what I understand the mother-in-law's tongue is the same as a snake plant. The cast iron plant is totally different. I have one of those in my office. The mother-in-law's tongue in the office upstairs is gorgeous, but I didn't know they bloomed!
