    1 and 2 are forms of a plant commonly called Joyapa - either Psamissia or Thibaudia. They're in the Ericaceae (the blueberry family.)
    3 looks like a Maranta or similar, and off to the left-hand corner is a Spathyphyllum.

    Where did you take these photos?

    Many thanks to you. These photos were taken at the New York Botanical Garden in New York City.

    I ask because they´re all things that grow in Ecuador.
