Chamaedorea elegans is parlor palm. Is that what you have? If so, it's a great house plant indeed, tons of them out there because they do so well in a pot.

I know nothing about Crinums.

P.S. Congrats on your new house!

Im not surere if that is what it is. it may be. it says very little on the packet, just a common name. I think im going to try either way! Ans thanks for the comgrats! :-)
