Ceridwen:
Alecto was the female DE's name on the Tower.  Amycus's sister?  Wife?  
It seems to pay to check the names for mythical references.  Merope was 
one of the Pleiades, who, according to one story, left her sisters to 
marry a human.

Peace Lily: Spathiphyllum floribundum.  Or, 'spath' for short.  You can 
make new plants by seperating the... rhyzomes? which divide under the 
soil.

Ceridwen, who gave a few Spathiphyllum floribundums to friends way back 
when.
