I have just today finished planting the last additions to my brand new “tropical” planter.
In its former live it was a small pool, though deep enough (27 inches) for survival of the waterlilies
in it. I filled it up completely with some low grade compost and good top soil. Now it is a rather
large planter.

Since we had rather dry weather the last few days, some of the plants suffered wind burn,
following the relocation from the protective indoor environment to the dry outside air. Notably the
Canna Australia in the NW corner (north is ‘up’ in this picture, just as in maps) and the Ornatas.

This image gives an overall view of the planter

This photo shows an inventory of all the plants in it as of today, It will probably remain essentially
the same throughout the summer, though I expect some vigorous growth to take place soon.

The inventory as of today:
1. A two year old Basjoo pup, separated fron the mother only yesterday. I wish it luck!
2. A couple of Ornatas, still linked by a common corm
3. Cannas Australia
4. Yucca Filamentosa
5. Costus Woodsonii
6. Dracena Red Star Spike
7. Dracena Compacta
8. Dipladenia Rio Pink
9. Rubber plants
10. Epipremnum aureum 'Golden Pothos'
11. Ricinus Carmencita
12. Petunia
13. Coleus
14. Wandering Jew
