i couldn't find a clearer close up, but the long green leaves are the airplane plant. they come in different varieties, like striped with yellow. the are mainly a hanging plant, that the stems send off shoots that hang down. if they drop to the ground, they grow like mad. mid-summer, they send out stems with little white flowers. they are pretty good for filling in spots or patio rails, but can take over quickly.
