new plants!

Purchased as a porch pickup. Some need TLC thus the price was very economical. They're all plants I've wanted to try or just find pretty. Top to bottom, L to R: coleus 'inky fingers' (it's been on my list since I read the coleus book), ficus elastica 'burgundy' (aka rubber plant), 'friendship' pilea, Calathea Medallion (doing so poorly it isn't showing the pattern at all- or maybe they do so when grow older? I don't know much about clatheas), angel wing begonias 'torch', 'frosty' and 'richmondensis', Calathea Vitatta.
A few closeups, especially the angel wing begonias here's 'Torch'
'Frosty'
'Richmondensis'
The calatheas, which are a bit sad (burnt/dried leaf tips)
Hope I can coax them back into good shape. They came rather waterlogged . . .
