Sorry, Lucinda, this is fun! You may be done with it but I think you've given us a new game to play.
Lobster-claw heliconia?
Bears breech (Acanthus)?
Monkey puzzle tree?
Leopard lily (Belamcanda)?
Enterlobiums are elephant ear trees but perhaps too large a scale
Shrimp plants (Justicia)
and of course, spider plant
I'm sure we can do better,

Hi Everyone,
This summer, in our display greenhouse, we are going to present an “animal” garden to go along with the opening of our children’s garden. I’m looking for tropical plants with animal names. I’ve got teddy bear palm, foxtail palm, bat plant, panda plant…there must be more. Isn’t there? I’m just not familiar with common names.
Thank you for any help you can offer. Also, and I’ve asked this question before but my new computer didn’t accept any favorites files apparently. There is a nursery for very unusual tropical plants that has been mentioned on this site before. Does anyone have a favorite tropical plant nursery that they use and like?
Thank you again,
Lucinda
