Network calathea
Calathea musaica
Network calathea, sold as Calathea musaica or Calathea 'Network', is a foliage plant in the prayer-plant family (Marantaceae) native to the Atlantic rainforest of southeastern Brazil, mainly Espírito Santo, where it grows in the forest understory. Its accepted botanical name is now Goeppertia kegeljanii (it has also been called Calathea bella), but the plant trade still knows it as Calathea musaica. The oval leaves are bright light green, covered in a fine web of lime and dark green lines that looks like a mosaic or a net, hence the name. It forms a compact clump about 60 cm tall and up to 90 cm wide. Like other marantas, it moves its leaves slightly through the day. It is non-toxic to people, cats and dogs.

Nootka Cypress is a slow-to-medium growing evergreen conifer native to the cool, wet coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest, from Alaska down to northern California. It has a graceful, often weeping habit with drooping branchlets of gray-green, scale-like foliage, and matures over decades into a tall, narrow tree prized for its durable, aromatic wood. In gardens it is grown as a specimen or hedging conifer rather than a houseplant, doing best in cool, humid climates with consistently moist but well-drained soil.
Common Heather
Calluna vulgaris
Calluna vulgaris, commonly known as common heather or ling, is a low-growing evergreen shrub native to Europe, western Asia, and parts of North Africa. It is the sole species in the genus Calluna and a defining plant of moorland and heathland ecosystems.
