Hello, I am new to the forum here. Thought I might use this opportunity to ask if anyone can help me ID these plants. I bought them at a plant sale but neither were tagged and I neglected to ask what they were. It was a madhouse of a plant sale and I had to make hasty decisions before they were snatched up!

Anyway, here is the first one:
Mystery Plant 1

In this same pot as this first mystery plant, I found tiny little bulbs of what now appear to be a different plant. I have potted them in their own separate pot and they are growing very quickly on their own. Here is a picture:

Mystery Plant 2

While I'm at it, and this one is probably an easy one but again, not tagged. I've had this plant for over a year. The leaves go up at night and come back down with the sun. I just don't know the name. Is it in the prayer plant family?

Mystery Plant 3

Thanks much!

The third one is a Calathea triostar. The first two look like they are in the succulent family, not sure of the names though.

The second one looks to be a type of sanseveria or 'snake plant", but it also sort of has the appearance of an orchid. If the leaves are super stiff, its the first one and by the way the spot pattern on it is very rare. If the leaves are a bit soft and pliable, then might be an orchid growing off of tubers planted in pot. Thanks for sharing.
