Thnaks all,
I was thinking about making the bed where the swans are larger but DH looked at me like I had two heads....I took that look as a no but that hasn't stopped me yet!!!!
Gloria, do you keep the pups off that banana? is that why it's one 'trunked'??

tiG,
I normally just let three grow in a clump...I also try and keep the yellow leaves cut off...no real reason.
Love all your garden pictures! Great layout.

Kell,
Since the area is so large there is a lot more that I can do to fill it in but don't know if I can keep it all up once I make more flower areas.
Very beautiful Glory, Sure wish we were closer neighbors.

Busybee,
You are only a couple of hours away from here. I will have plenty to share in the late fall.
Sure so beautiful
Glory..find yourself a golden sweet potato (CHartruese and plant around the base of the black taro...it will really brighten the area up more! Great now.Just a suggestion. :-)
Gloria, if you like Kyle's suggestion, I can send you some, I have it growing all over the place.

Kyle,
Would this be rabbit food....I have rabbit problems here.
Dee,
If Kyle thinks the rabbits won't eat it I'd love to have some.
Glory...they don't bother it here..so give it a try..will really light up the dark taro..:-)
Glory,
Your tropical garden is so neat. Don't see any weed there. You need to come by and get some different types of elephant ears-calocasia, alocasia and xanthosoma. Would look great on the coast. I have plent of golden sweet potato that Kyle is speaking of.
