What do you guys think about these two plants? I couldn't get better photos, my camera is out of batteries Thanks,

You are correct. The two plants are Pogostemon stellatus and Ludwigia inclinata var verticillata 'Cuba' respectively.

re : plant id

hi,
yes that is Pogostemon stellatus , this plant is also called Eusteralis stellata, the shape on the picture is the emersed culture one. The leaves should grow a little bit and take a purple color reaching the surface of your aquarium. It's a beautiful plant that you have here !

Cool8). Can you give a bit of backround on both of them? Thanks.

There lays the beauty of the Plant Finder. Both are listed

Both of these plants are extremely sensitive to low NO3. When pruning, always save 1-2 top cuttings as these two plants have the tendency to go south very quickly. And as gnatster noted, additional information can be found in the Plant Finder.
