senecio kilimanjaro.  this plant is a summer fave in my backyard.  it's perfect in potted arrangements and hanging baskets and there's usually a good sized solo pot of kilimanjaro somewhere by the pool.  in the fall, i make tons of cut-offs and get them rooting in water.  today they were used in a cute, floral arrangement.

staghorn fern.  I rescued this one from Menards about 4 or 5 years ago... somehow they let their plants die slowly on their sales floor but on that day, this staghorn was the most promising of the bunch.  so sad that I only could bring one home.  platycerium is a genus of about 18 fern species in the polypod family, polypodiaceae.  ferns in this genus are widely known as staghorn or elkhorn ferns due to their uniquely shaped fronds.

not exactly sure what this one is.  an echeveria of some sort?  it's branchy and tree-like and i absolutely love it.

crassula is a genus of succulent plants containing about 1480 accepted species.  i have several types of this genus and believe this one to be crassula rupestri.  my name for this plant is the hulk.
