    Some nice palms Dave. Couldn’t see them from below as well when we were there. Roof top gives a nice perspective.

    Here's a top-down look at my phoenix, beccariophoenix alfredii to the right. Peek the dragonfruit climbing at the base of the phoenix

    A bit to the left and you can see a trachycarpus leaf and plenty of chunky aloes (thraskii, vambe & others)

    Far more of a sensible arrangement, in my view.  🙂
