Names of my plants

I have a lot of plants, and they all have names:

1. Marshall - a 3-foot dracaena named on the occasion that I was a graduation marshal my junior year of college
2. Humphrey - a mosaic plant named after Humphrey Bogart (I love Casablanca)
3. Simone - not sure what kind of plant she is, but she's beautiful and has striped leaves, named after Simone Weil, a Christian social philosopher
4. Miles - again, never have figured out what type of plant he is, but he's named after the main character of Richard Russo's Empire Falls, who I really identified with
5. Vera - an aloe vera plant (get it?!)
6. Oswald (aka Oz, Jr.) - a purple passion plant, named by my friend and roommate in college, I'm not sure if it was because he sat in a window like another Oswald did, or if it's because he's purple like the cartoon octopus by the same name
7. Phyllis - a cactus (pachypodium, madagascar palm) who I thought deserved a spunky and hilarious name
8. Habakkuk - an arrowhead plant who is named after a Biblical prophet because the name is cool and there are some passages I like in the book
9. Esther - an aluminum plant who is also named after a Biblical figure, although I don't remember precisely what the inspiration was for this
10. Phoenix - a wandering Jew who I received as clippings from a friend's mom, which I proceeded to let sit in a plastic bag for a month or so. Amazingly, Phoenix survived this ordeal and I thought I'd give her an "overcoming the odds" kind of name
11. Bud & Dotty - orchids for whom I am a foster parent since my friend Erin decided she was killing them. Bud is named after the one humongous bud (and resulting yellow flower) that he has produced since living in the bathroom, and Dotty is named for the three little buds that she is working on now.
12. Minnie Elaine Rose - a miniature rose that just moved in after my partner's great aunt Elaine's birthday party (Minnie was a centerpiece at the event)
