Pics of my "tropical" New York City yard. I am in a USDA gardening zone 7 and I use plants that are hardy to our winters, are easy to overwinter indoors, or use as annuals to get the tropical look this far north. Please ask for my permission and give me credit if you use any of my pics! Thanks for looking!

Caladiums in the landscape
You gotta love Caladiums. They bring lots of color to shady spots and do great with other shade loving plants like begonias. They aren't solely shade plants though. Even in this kind of crazy heat (102F in my yard today) they thrive in part sun. This year I started most of my caladiums from bulbs. They started sprouting indoors in a very warm room and now I have a ton of them around the yard. Here are just a few adding some color where it's needed.
