Went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and here are some of my favorite foliage shots:
Most if not all of these are not labeled sadly. Some I know the names of, others I at least know the family they belong to. JoshH may be able to give ID on more as I know he has quite a few from ABG in his collection.These are really great. Thanks for posting this!
Did you get names for any of those plants? Some of them are unfamiliar to me.
Pictures like this could be really great for planning a viv layout because they show the plant's true growth habit and architecture much better than little catalog thumbnails do.
This is the dark bronze form of Selaginella cf. sericea with what looks like some awesome Piper sp. in the middle....

Pilea sp. 'Ecuador' ~ this pops up for sale from time to time and is a good viv plant...

There was a small time frame roughly ten years or so ago when a lot of interesting things suddenly were available. I believe Black Jungle may have had a connection with them and was able to introduce much of it to the hobby...though I don't know any specifics of it.Im always seeing people with plants from "ABG". How does one get plants from them? Do they have a sale where they sell some cultivars from their collection?
As Josh pointed out the bronze form of Selaginella cf sericea earlier (good eye btw!), this photo was of the green form of Selaginella sericea.
