I like seeing how people mix palms with agaves and stuff, especially with the blue green fan palms it makes a for a tropical deserty look. I myself started with palms and got into agaves later seeing that they made cool companion plants. Very nice collection you have, keep posting about it.
Thanks. The Brahea and Sabal species I went with are mostly
Mexican species that grow in the same areas as certain Agave and other xeric species. Here are some great pictures of localities where they co-exist.
