I like the first one. We’re the spikes as prickly as they look? Interesting. Thanks!

The last one is a Vriesea, a genus of bromeliad, and fairly easy to grow with orchids.

The penultimate is possibly an alocassia or colocassia, often known as elephant ears.

the black and green ? caladium is interesting.

Thank you!
I found the name for the last one.

Colocasia 'Mojito'

The leaves are smaller than typical Caladium, but thicker to the touch, although nothing like typical Elephant's Ear plant.

Verschaffeltia splendida for the first one (I struggled reading it).

Great plants.

The one with the variegated leaf looks like taro from Hawaii, but taro doesn't come variegated, to my knowlege.
