I've always liked these and had an enormous specimen in my garden at my old shop, and recently I got "back into" them and now am working on a collection.

Does anybody else enjoy them? 

I have two that I am not sure of the name. I'd appreciate if you guys could get me a name for these two please. Thanks!

Simple easy to grow tropical looking plant.... strikes easily from stem cuttings....2 or 3 inches is plenty. I grow them outdoors in my climate. They will grow in the poorest of soils and require very little care. Known as 'dumb woman's cane'.... supposedly a gossipy talkative woman could be silenced ( yeah right ! ) by rubbing the sap of the plant on the lips and tongue rendering one speechless..... Will grow in deep shade, but I've found them to thrive in dappled shade / high light conditions.
