Default What have you got in foliage?

Since there is such a successful thread dealing with flowers, I thought a thread on foliage would be great too. Since flowers are so fleeting, a lot of the look of the vivarium relies more on the shape, color and patterns of the plants themselves. Hopefully, this will be a successful thread.

Here's one to start. The Brazilian Philodendron 'Burle-Marx Fantasy' has always been one of my favorite philos for the terrarium. It has very nice color and pattern and the leaves remain relatively small. Several cuttings grown together will make a great shingle effect. Depending on the intensity of the light, the leaf color can range from green to blue to even slightly purple. On top of that it has some nice intricate markings. It is actually a species that has never been formally named. Supposedly rare in the wild and it is not very common in cultivation too.
