Yours looks perfect. We tried to have a tropical feel to our backyard. We planted 16 banana trees. I noticed a pocket of water at the base of each leaf so I asked the mosquito abatement people here if that was a problem. I was told that's why there are so many mosquitoes in the tropics. I was told to pick up a bottle of pills once a month and to drop them in the water pocket to kill the larva. We had the trees removed, we have West Nile Virus in our area with horses dropping dead and didn't want to increase the chance of having more mosquitoes. So we just live in Dan's jungle room of silk plants, there is always something to look at in that room.
