Tibuchina and Palm . . . .



with Dragon Wing Begonia.

This combination in a pot is just lovely together.  Trailing down the side of the pot is an ivy plus 'Creeping Jenny.'

The tibuchina leaves are thick and fuzzy for a tropical.  Loving lots of sun (and food thru the growing season) they are one of my summer favorites.

Sidebar:  In 1991, I bought one for my sister, Cathy & her husband, Keith for their new house in Boca Raton, Florida.  It was a different variety of tibuchina & grew to tree size in no time at all.
It is also known as a 'Princess Tree.'
