My friend cut the tops to his Auntie Lou Ti plants and I planted them last September. They rooted and are growing very well in my back yard now. Photo taken September 19, 2022. The palm trunk next to the Ti leaf plant is Pati Queen Palm (Syagrus botryophora).

All these plants are common here, with the exception of the Licuala ramsayi (Australian fan palm) native to Queensland, Australia.

Lovely colours and textures here. I feel warmer just looking at your pic, Andy.
It's impressive your friend's cutting of his Auntie Lou Ti is taking off well in your own garden.

Kate,
Yes, it’s a touch of the tropics.😊
He has tons of colorful bromeliads which he’s going to thin out. I’ll just take all of them off his hands. 😂
Yes, two cuttings (from September) are well-rooted and growing very well out in pots in the back yard. The last cutting he gave me in mid-November, so I brought it indoors to root in water. It’s too cool at night to start it in soil outside now.

Looking fine. Is that Wisteria to the left? More of "anything grows here"

It would definitely be rude to refuse, wouldn't it! 😁
Be good to see your healthy potted specimens this year, look forward to your pics!

Stan,
Yes, it’s Japanese Wisteria. There’s a very large Ravenea glauca (with 9 ft of trunk) and a nice Dypsis pembana to its left.

Kate,
I met my friend, Mark twelve years ago on GoY. He doesn’t really post pics anymore, though. So, I take the pics and post them. 😂
It definitely would be rude to refuse such beautiful, healthy plants! Plus, they would just end up in the landfill.
