Carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of

As for the other plant (does anyone know what it is?) I'm starting to
wonder if its behavior is natural.

What you have there is a Deffenbachia (sp?). The "behavior" shown in
your picture is in no way unusual.

Thanks very much. When I first posted, I hadn't seen the larger stem
highlighted above, just the one pictured a few posts back. It had been
standing straight up, and one morning suddenly sagged, so I got
concerned.

Thanks again, everyone.
