Thanks, Angel - the name is something like 'spagnum' . . . but it's not a moss it has small green leaves with white fleck.

Are you thinking of spathiphyllum - peace lily?

No - definitely not a peace lily - and ya' know what - I think that's what's leading me astray - the label on the shelf said something like that . . . spath . . . and there were a lot of peace lilies there.

As well as the plant I chose.

So maybe it isn't anywhere near that name.

I'm looking at a short stem from my plant right now, and it looks the same as the pictures on those urls . . .

Must be it!

Thanks again!
