In this dish garden, the plant you are referring to is a Prayer Plant, or Maranta leuconeura. There is another type of common houseplant that looks similar to this called Calathea. Both of these are in the Marantaceae family, and are common in dish gardens and as house plants. Hope this helps!

Ask the Expert: What are these plants?
I’m unsure as to what these plants are, one I believe is a sedum/sempervivum. They are both from Vizcaya Gardens in Miami. Also are the two plants which looking very similar the same? One was in the shade and one in the sun which could explain the difference in colour on the edges of the leaves. Emma

Aubrey,
I believe what you have is a Thunbergia vine. It is sometimes called Black-eyed Susan vine. As for care, they are real easy. Thunbergia alata likes full sun and a well-drained but moist soil. It is considered an annual except in tropical areas. The best place for it is in an area that gets a little shade in the late afternoon, but full sun otherwise. It will grow rapidly and bloom all summer through the fall.
What type of flower is this? Its an outdoor flower…that’s all I know. – Aubrey

Aubrey,
It looks like a type of lily, most likely an Asiatic lily. When the bloom opens, we maybe able to give you a more definitive identification. Hope this helps.
