The main plants in the top photo are Anthuriums from Sect. Belolonchum. I want to say that it's A. longilobum but I'm truly not sure. There are also a couple of species of Philodendron lurking in the background. The shot was taken in Mindo, which is a cloud forest in Northern Ecuador, at an elevation of about 1500 m.

The bottom plant is a Philodendron, I think P. selloum - I just love the way the light plays through the leaves. This shot is from Mera, which is a transitional forest in Central Ecuador, at an elevation of about 1800 m.

So to answer your question more simply, they're a couple of my native Aroids (EEs).
