Also--Any other suggestions on low-light houseplants? Maybe I should just stop at our friendly Agway, huh? Thanks much*Happy Gardening!* Lynne

I have a Snake plant, my mom had a Birds Nest fern and the two do not look alike at all. This is a Bird's Nest Fern: http://rainforest-australia.com/Birds%20Nest%20Fern.htm This is a Snake plant: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/senior/flowers/Snake91.htm Which one do you want?
