Here ’s an exciting scene from a garden in Oakland , California . I love how the gold base really nominate this corner of the garden pop . The trunks of the banana are like columns in a elbow room , and the the burgundy leaves of the loropetalum are their everlasting companion . The huge leaves of the rice - paper works ( Tetrapanax papyrifer , USDA Hardiness Zones 6 - 11 ) add to the tropicalismo feel of this space .
