This was the front middle section after 16 months . Many tropicals that had to be dug . Musa basjoo is awesome and way hardy here even at -4* f .

Overall look is very intriguing....hard and soft textures to add interest as well as a great variety in color

This looks great Smalljaw ! The burgandy, red, cream and bluegreen foliage really blends well together.

Thank you so much for all the kind words . TN is not really tropical . It rains alot and then it doesn't , it is hot then cold . A 24 hour temperature swing could be 50* f . Late freezes can be common . Last year we had the frought , late freeze followed by a bad summer drought . Average rainfall is in the 40's , that is inches . Warren County , TN is classified as the nursery capital of the U.S. with close to 300 nurseries within 60 miles of eachother . Well , not sure anymore since the economy is in the crapper . LOL . Grin and bare it .
