Tropical Foliage Combination

This mixed planting of tropical plants is a combination in my shade garden that has more punches than a boxer.

A Quote from Henry Mitchell's, The Essential Earthman

"Gardening is a long road, with many detours and way stations, and here we all are at one point or another. It's not a question of superior or inferior taste, merely a question of which detour we are on at the moment. Getting there (as they say) is not important; the wandering about in the wilderness or in the olive groves or in the bayous is the whole point."
