Similar plants make a subtle tapestry

Walking around theBrooklyn Botanic Garden , this might be the last plant combo you ’d mark , tucked under a few shrubs near the exit . But when you ’ve walked around as many public gardens as I have , you start to search out the secret petty nook and minimise , obscure pleasure . I ’m never let down . This is one such sketch . I jazz how these three works have almost identical leaf shapes , so their insidious color differences are highlighted . The big affair about these hidden little gem is that you seldom find any plant tags . I acknowledge the chartreuse plant is golden creeping Jenny ( Lysimachia nummularia‘Aurea ’ , USDA Hardiness geographical zone 4 - 8) , and it look like one of the other plants is button fern ( Pellaea rotundifolia , zone 8 - 10 ) , but I have no idea what the third plant is . Anyone ? Comment below !
