To quote Jay Sherman of the old _Critic_ cartoon show: "It stinks!"

No store around me sells indoor plants aside from the expensive 
arrangements at the florists, so I hop over the bridge into the next 
state to a chain garden center. Not one plant had a name on it! There 
was one poster at about the 10 foot level on one of the beams in the 
hothouse and the print so so small you would need binoculars to not 
only see the pictures but read the print. And the poster only showed 
flowering plants, none of the "greenery" that was in the store at the 
present time.

Most of the plants did have those tiny plastic sticks with minimum 
care instructions, though, like "mild sun, do not overwater" but that 
was about it.

I saw a lot of nice plants, but even spending all day Sunday with a 
few different plant books and roaming the web I still can't find the 
names of most of them.

Really frustrating, but since I needed some greenery in this house I 
was desperate so I bought them.
