After a Google investigation I'm adding a little info on one of the plants. The mother-in-law's tongue is, in fact, NOT a member of the Dracaena family. I didn't take Botany in college. It is a member of the Sansevieria species. Also, the name "mother-in-law's tongue" comes from the sharpness of the leaves. Only the messenger. Don't shoot the messenger. If it makes all of you mothers-in-law feel better then we'll just call it the snake plant (because of the shape of the leaves) or Tiger's Tail which is what they call it in Japan. When in Rome... or Okinawa...
