This is an area we've always found difficult to landscape, partly because there's an old concrete slab where the previous owner had a shed. So its pipes to the rescue again. While ringing around chasing the pipes for previous project, the salesperson at the local plumbing supplies kindly gave me the address of a wholesaler who happened to have some seconds laying around. Which I gladly snapped up for a small fee. We are hoping the two Golden cane palms will grow fairly quickly and provide shade for the Bromeliads and Cordylines.

wanderful planting arrangements,i was thinking of new pots for my growing plants.hope the shade idea works.you are lucky growing tropical plants in sunny queensland.I would need a greenhouse for Bromeliads.
I think this looks terrific. I'm going to check some salvage places around here to see if I can come up with something similar. Thanks for sharing the idea!
That looks great. I like the way the different lengths make different levels. It's very architectural, like a cityscape.
How ingenious! The plants in pipes make a really beautiful arrangement. That's a really clever idea.
How lucky you are to be able to grow tropical plants. Makes me homesick for Australia :)
Thanks everyone for your comments. It's good to experiment with different materials sometimes.
