A new and distinct variety of Thuja plant named ‘BLTP’ is disclosed, characterized by a controlled growth habit and fresh green foliage color year-round. Plants of ‘BLTP’ have been observed to grow to 10 to 13 feet tall at ten years of age, shorter than most commercial varieties. Pruning is not needed to maintain and attractive landscape plant. Tolerance for Thuja Blight and humidity have been observed in the new variety. The new cultivar is a Thuja, suitable for horticultural purposes.

A new and distinct cultivar of Caladium plant named ‘GPR OF16-241’, characterized by its compact and upright to mounding plant habit; dense, leafy and bushy appearance; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; lance-type leaves that are greenish white in color, variably flushed with purplish pink and veins that are dark green in color and flushed with dark purple; leaves that occasionally have leafy appendages attached to the lower leaf surface and are similar in color to the leaves; and petioles that are close to black in color.

A new, distinct Sedum spurium plant named ‘Rock Candy’ as illustrated and described, herein.
