Your plantings look lovely. What are the blue flowers? I recognized everything else. I just cut back the lantana in my raised bed, it was almost 4 feet tall! Things will get big fast.
I love viajera (traveling palm) and it's look alike the triangle palm, but the constant breeze in my yard shreds the leaves of the banana plants and so I am affraid it would do the same to that type of palm.

I agree with Theresa on the traveler's palm. They are one of my favorite tropical plants -- right after birds of paradise. I look forward to seeing what yours will look like -- when located. I certainly am not going to grow one here in Salem -- even though our weather has been sunny and "warm" this past week.

Thanks for your comments, guys. Mazatlan is funny in that the nurseries don't seem to have any way to predict what stock they'll have or any desire to order...our landscapers are considering starting a nursery just so they can have control over stock!

Theresa, the blue flowers are:
Botanical name: Evolvulus glomeratus
Common names: Blue Daze, Hawaiian Blue Eyes

The big problem I have in Merida is that many nurseries get their stock from Mexico (state) and the plants travel in airconditioned trucks. They look great in the nursery, but quickly wilt or die in the hot Yucatecan sun.
Thank you for putting the latin name, that will help when I ask at the nursery. It would look pretty with blue plumbago or maybe in the same bed as the Clitora ternata (blue sails in English, or zapatita in Spanish), I love that vine, I gathered the seeds one day on a walk, and it has been happy as a clam in my yard.

I found out something interesting while visiting Costa Rica. I always thought the Traveler Palm got its' name from its' branching/spreading growing habit. Not so. Those stems are full of water so that a traveler always knew where to get water when traveling through the jungle. Cool.
