Hey i'm looking for some plants that would work great in my vivarium :D

I'm planning on planting a 20 gallon long tank and a 30 gallon tank with some nice plants for a poison dart frog habitat. the frogs i may be getting will be blue and black (d. azureus), green and black (d. auratus), and or yellow and black (d. leucomelas). i would love plants that will make their colors pop out.

Plants:
Pepperomia
easy growing orchids
Utricularia (longifolia, etc)
Small to medium growing bromeliads
small ferns (korean rock)
jewel orchids
wandering jew, green/white varigated
silver green philodendron
Papyrus
dwarf grasses
selaginella
small growing syngonium, alocasia, colosia if they exist haha i have tons of EE's but they're too big
Monolina primuliflora
lance leaf ficus
smaller neps, mine are too big now :p

Moss:
java moss
live sphagnum moss (green & red)

Decor:

The terariums are going to be AWESOME. Be sure to post pics when you get them done. We would love to see them.

I know where some dwarf wild iris are (not sure what they really are but have purple iris flower) They grow 5-6 inches tall in our woods here in the mountains of NC. We have lots of moss that my daughter & I used for terrariums this spring-not sure what kind (sorry!). If interested I will mail some for free-:)
