I called this a Happy Accident because it wasn't a planned combination.  The Queen Palm and the Spanish Bayonet grow along the side fence in my neighbor's yard.  The allamanda cathartica 'Cherries Jubilee' is growing in my yard.  I have it growing up through a Dracaena Marginata and as it grows it supports itself.  When the Spanish Bayonet blossomed I thought the combination of white flowers from that, deep pink color from the allamanda, green palm fronds and blue sky made a nice arrangement.
