Hello,
I’ve just got some new house plants from a neighbour. I tried to identify them through Google images but it hasn’t really worked and I wondered if anyone could kindly help me here. I’ve posted some images and if you know what the plants are please do say if you feel the images are not good enough then let me know that too.

Thank you

I'd say: Asparagus fern; Philodendron of some kid; Coleus.

The third one could be Calathea Rosy

There’s an app for that - it’s called plantnet- you upload a picture and it offers suggestions based on leaf, flower, etc. It’s free -as a non horticulturist I use it all the time to identify weeds v keeps!😉

First one :Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri'

I agree with the identification, SP is right on the third one.

Agreed. Not a Coleus. My mistake.

I agree with the identifications. I think the philodendron is probably philodendron billietiae.
Enjoy your plants.

If you use Google Lens it will suggest names for the plants.

Be careful with the asparagus fern, it has tiny thorns! I found out when I was tidying mine up. It will flower tiny white fragrant blooms once in a while.
