I have 7 houseplants that I do not know the names of. I wanted to upload pictures on yahooanswers but I guess that is not an option. Does anyone know how I can easily go about finding out the types of plants I own??

Try getting a houseplant book from the library. Or take a sample leaf to a garden center or florist.

browse through a florist that sells house plants and note the cards in them that identify them..
go to the library and get a book on house plants,,,if you don't have a library card, just stay there and jot down the name of the ones you find like yours,,,draw sketches and write the names down...
