Ginger

peace lily

That resembles a peace lily but they usually grow from a more central base. This seems perhaps a repotting of starter shoots (not a bad thing but just not what you'd find from a general retail purchase of the plant). There's a great House Plants forum here that could offer some more input.

Could it be a cast iron plant? It might be a peace lily? Hard to tell from pictures. Did it have any flowers? Peace lily has a white flower.

I originals thought lily as well. Mmmm.

Peace lily leaves don't branch.

Try this forum. Name that plant

Looks like one of the gingers, there's lots...

Looks like a ginger or cardamom plant to me. Not a Spathiphyllum (peace lily), whatever it is.

Mmmmm, I post over at Name tat Plant as suggested by Oakley. Only one suggestion that looks a bit far fetched.

When i google ginger, peace lily, cardamon, the photos I see look nothing like this plant.

I thought vaguely a lily plant.

Kenns says there are lots of gingers?

It is not a lily of any kind that I know of. The ID given by carol in the other forum is right down the same alley mentioned by me and others. She suggested Curcuma....which is the plant that tumeric comes from. It's a type of ginger.

"Kenns says there are lots of gingers?"

About 50 different genera of ginger and several thousand species :-)

Looks more like a ginger than anything else...perhaps a Curcuma. Neither cast iron plant (Aspidistra) nor peace lily (Spathiphyllum) have pinnate leaves.

I'm sitting looking at my Peace Lily,and this pic is identical to my plant.

ont_gal, I'd be willing to bet good money your peace lily does not have pinnate (compound) leaf stems, like the one showing at 11:00 in the photo. If it does, it is NOT a peace lily!

My first thought was it was a filler plant, you know the ones that come in an assortment plant arrangement from the florist?

I wonder what the latin name for filler plant is.

eld, perhaps you can obtain more information from your daughter regarding this plant. It looks like a pot full of seedlings or, in the case of any of these gingers that have been mentioned, a bunch of sprouting rhizomes, which is how they are propagated.

Looks like a young Aspidistra (Cast Iron Plant) to me.

Rusty

And again, aspidistra do not produce stems with compound leaves.

Definitely not peace lily. They have one large leaf on each stem.

Yeah, I'm taking back my earlier suggestions. Like Gardengal states, multiple leaves coming off one branch means it's not a peace lily or cast iron plant.

It kinda looks like this cardomom plant and this one (the one of the left).

Or perhaps it is ginger or tumeric, both of which have been popularized as supplements which then grab hold by home growers.

Ontgal, could you please post a picture of your plant?

If she has a good nose she could pinch one of the leaves where it does not show and smell her fingers being careful not to get them too close to her nose. Ginger and turmeric both have a similar, to me, smell and that would eliminate cast iron an lily plants.

I'll take a pic & try to post it today....and it gets/has(not right now tho ) the white peace lily flower as well...ok-I've posted the pic 2x and it isnt showing.
