Hi, here is an update of my garden (August 2011)
Bananas are invaded by Clerodendron Bungei
Gunnera manicata, trachycarpus fortunei, Eryngium pandanifolium,Hibiscus sino-syriacus...

Clerodendron bungei blooming
young sabal palmetto
asplenium scolopendrium and erythrina crista galli
chamaerops humilis cerifera ?leaves are not very blue (the wax is destroyed by too much rainy days in this area)
