New planter design

I'm open to suggestions for my planter!  I've moved what were previously three different groups of Foxtail palms together in the central portion, and am adding a plumeria tree on either end.  I've got a two Traveler's Palms and four Areca bunches (only two shown in the photo).  I've got a few Red Ti's and Variegated Ti's, and am thinking about some smaller plants including monstera deliciousa, Queen Emma Lily (probably on either side of the foxtails), and some dwarf plumerias... I want the planter to be interesting to look at and block out the wall/neighbors behind us.

 

What say you?

It appears you don't have much planter space (depth) to create a layered effect w/ specimen palms to that will ever give you total privacy from the neighbors looking down into your yard or to block out the wall.  The route I would suggest is to create a green wall/hedge out of podocharpus gracilior or silver sheen pittosporum.  To create interest I'd use in repetition, large planters about 5 or 7 in your case spaced evenly across the front of the planter to create architectural interest and then do your specimen plantings in those...
