    Hello,
    I'm new to this forum, and I wondered if someone might be able to help me identify some plants? I 'inherited' some house plants and I don't know what they are? Specifically this one...(see attached photos). After my mother passed away I thought it was a gonner, but these past 2 years it has sprung back to life! If someone knows what it is I'd appreciate the info!! Thanks in advance. Karen.
