Thanks, Dara. I probably wouldn't have tried ornamentals either. I was going to put fruiting bananas in those containers, but my friend Steven convinced me that ornamentals were a better way to go here. I like the picture you have under your name. It looks like it could be Michelia coco? I used to grow those, but they didn't like the winter here. Those flowers smell so good.
Laterita, the flower started at around 26", and from the soil line to the tip of the tallest leaf is 65". The flower is around 6". These were all single plants when I planted them in February, and they sent up pups just a few months ago.
