No worries. Apart from maybe the Crinium species, the rest are easy to care for and readily available. If you haven't seen it yet, have a look at the Aquariumlife forum - lots of good info on planted tanks, there setup and maintenance.

Hey Lawrence! (with the great forum name)
Swords, crypt, val, java fern, just Google for low light or easy plants.
Mines planted and just down the road if you want some ideas (of what not to do - lol). Send us a pm and I'll. give ya the address.
Cheers
