I just got these. The first one is an orchid. The second... I am not for sure. There are 3 types of plants. One is a bulb flower of some sort, another has the bamboo type of stem, and the last is... Leafy. I need to figure out what type they are.

The last looks like Peace lilies

Cannot believe I got four (4!) seed catalogs in the mail today...all rather thick! Time to spend (but not time) on the garden....

I got like five or six. I stopped counting

Let's see, two bakers creek, one Sow True, one Southern Exposure, one High mowing and a few others.

So my dad went to a little farm store in town to get some chicken wire and while he was there he asked if we could have the empty trays and nine pack pots, they told him he could take the left over plant too so he got like 8 trays full of left over plants.

Got seed ready to order for next year's garden. Borage, sweet woodruff, St. John's wort, valerian, arabica coffee, Black Bats (those last two for a memorial greenhouse to my late sister), Christmas Rose hellebore, yarrow, comfrey, concord grapes, and dwarf pomegranates.

Some will be container plants, but the herbs will be the real challenge and joy.

Second plant is (I'm quite sure) Peace Lily or Spathyphylum. http://www.ourhouseplants.com/plants/peacelily. I love having one or more of those in the house. They are so easy to grow, have a reputation of being a good air purifyer. To propagate them, you just dump them out of the pot when they've outgrown it and become very lush, take a knife and cut the root ball into chunks, and re-pot each chunk.

Thank you all! Sorry, The way I phrased my last post, I guess it sounded like I wanted you guys to tell me what it was. That is fine, if you really wanted to. But I was just showing off my plants, and saying i was going to figure out what it was. However, I am Still grateful for your help. So thank you very much so!!!!

Sorry if we stripped the joy of your plant sleuthing! Kind of like telling the reader what happens in the book before they get to the last chapter. They are both beautiful plants. I admire the beauty of orchids, and love peace lilies because they are so undemanding!!! Of course, I killed my last 2! Left them outside too long, and they froze. Time to cruise the discount table at Lowes, and pick up a replacement. I rarely pay full price for any plant, especially if it's an ornamental. Wait till it's marked down b/c it's half dead. Then I bring it home and nurse it back to health!

No, it is totally fine. I was open to guesses, I just didn't want it to sound like i was demanding to know what plant I have.
