Bought a selection of plants from k2aqua (eBay) - they are buy 3, get 1 free at the moment...

Arrived today and my first experience with in-vitro plants. The other order I have in for substrate and hardscape hasn't arrived yet, so I've heard I should keep them in a light place but in the bags so they just keep using the in-vitro nutrients

So while I wait... a little game for you. I know some of you will get these with no problem but here you go... What are the names of the plants below?

1 - top left
2 - top right
3 - bottom left
4 - bottom right
