| The florist I bought this plant from could not tell me what it is and I'm hoping someone here can. |

| Looks like a Dracaena. Various hybrids available and I don't know them so can't be more specific. |

| Might be a Warneckii but there are certainly varieties not pictured at this link, and one pic of each is hardly sufficient for ID. I'd lean toward one of the D. deremensis but also compare your plant to D. sanderiana. When it gets taller and has more of a trunk, you can be more certain of ID if you can't decide for now. If the light has been too low, that could cause the variegation to be more slim and/or inconspicuous than normal for any type of Drac. |

| Forgot to say... "The florist I bought this plant from could not tell me what it is..." On my! Glad this person's not an electrician, probably missed a truer calling of weather forecasting. |

| Florists typically know nothing about houseplants. They just sell them. |

| Rhizo, I trust that what you say is true, but that doesn't make it any less sad or bizarre to me. OTOH, more power to anyone earning a buck and paying some bills. Delayne, if you have any further questions about your plant, come on by the house plant forum, although you certainly don't need my invitation to do so. |
