Lagoon of Mystery - Home Tiki Bars

I suspect you've already seen some of these over on FB. Much appreciated, Slacks! Gooneybird, thank you for the kind words! Those plants (well, some of them, at least) are the reason we got into tiki in the first place. When we moved in, the pool already had several mature palm trees surrounding it. I added the bananas. That combination prompted The Wife to suggest we needed a tiki bar. It was a deep and twisty rabbit hole from there, but tropical landscaping has always been a big factor in the overall ambience of our space. Adding hardy and deciduous hibiscus brought a lot of tropical flair. Passion flowers are a perennial exotic. Root beer plants nicely filled in the space behind the waterfall. Loquats bring a faux-tropical evergreen into the mix. It's been a lot of fun--in recent years I've even added sugar cane to the mix!
