   Shelly,

   From your description I believe you have an Aglaonema (Chinese Evergreen). There are several varieties and without a picture I can’t be sure which one you have. I placed a picture of one variety above. Please let me know if it has a similar look.

   Dear jaime : Thank you very much. I looked up further information regarding the Chinese evergreen and although mine appears to be larger than the info i do believe that it is. Thank you again. Shelly
