The first one is actually a type of Ficus. It's our Triangle Ficus bush, and as you can see, the leaves are very triangular shaped, but my favorite part is the detail on the leaves. It's almost this two-tone, painted green look, and then it's surrounded by a very pale green, almost yellow, and all the leaves look like that even when they're younger leaves. And this one can grow up to be more of a floral plant, as well, and not so much of a bush form, but this one is quite young at the moment.
