That tall one sounds really good, provided it didn't become too invasive.

The Sans here are real survivors. We have a really dry and hot dry season and a very wet and hot wet season. I was doing a report on an historic homestead (abandoned in the mid 1960's) where there had been some Sans growing, along with a few others. The Sans had grown into quite a large clump. I recommended they be left but with a root barrier around them to prevent further spread. They're part of the historic fabric of the site and needed to be preserved. It was interesting how they'd survived despite the neglect and harsh environment. And another there was Caladium in a similar situation. It's made me believe Caladiums are only delicate if you "baby" them, or 'kill them with kindness'.
