    Can you possible identify these plants for me:

    The tall cactus/succulent in the fourth planter from the left (in the brown planter with white band) with the green/pink/orange/yellow finger-looking leaves, and the planter right next to it (in the black planter with the wide white band) with the pink-rimmed green spatulate leaves and white filaments ??

    I realize this is probably an odd request, but I really like the look of these plants. I plan to replicate this design in my own container garden, and have no idea how to purchase plants I can’t identify by name (or whatever).

    Thank you so much in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    The large black and red pot and its cream and black twin are small Agaves. In between them in the white and tan pot is Euphorbia of some sort, perhaps E. tirucalli 'Sticks on Fire' (which means that the pots are bigger than you think they are).

    Blue and black pot looks like a Kalanchoe. The other pots are too distant a photo to determine their contents.

    Maybe A. potatorum or A. lophantha, but I'm really terrible with that whole genus (apart from recognizing my own local species).
