I also have banana trees, elephant ears, bromeliads, angel trumpets, confederate jasmine and a huge birds of paradise, it's actually 3 plants together. Those bloom in late summer to "fall" here. I planted a crape myrtle recently, one of the larger Natchez varieties, and bought two perennial red hibiscus trees this weekend. Being in hot climates is limiting as I'd like to have things like lavender but can't ever get it to grow.
Like clothes shopping, plants can become addictive.
