i was given this plant when Gramma died. the person who gave it to me was told it was a prayer plant. i've always thought prayer plants were marantas, but i'd swear this is a calathea. so what do you think?

It doesn't look like my prayer plant. Looks too thick and waxy to me.

So did ya' find out if the fridge light stays on when you close the door? That's about how much I'd know about whether plant flowers stay open at night - ha ha!

That's a nice inheritance you have there.
