I really like the Strelitzias, we get a nice colourful bird that perches on the flowers making them twice as pretty. It's called a Blue-faced honey-eater and it's quite a sight to behold. They go for S. nikolai too, a very colourful sight in the garden indeed. S. nikolai is a great plant and tough too, it can even handle a bit of frost too but I would suggest growing them in a sunny but sheltered position if in the UK.

I've always been fond of anything with large leaves, and have planted a lot of Monstera deliciosa over the years. Looks great with the bird of paradise plants too.

Also can't go wrong with shell ginger

My most coveted big-leaved plant of the moment is Elephant Kratom, a strain with huge leaves. There's

 a good chance I could actually get some seeds from Malaysia soon.

Check it out:
