Thanks for this.  My garden, here in Arlington, VA, is living proof...and 
not just living, but thriving:  needle palms, windmill palms, weeping yaupon 
holly, live oak, gardenias, cast iron plants, fatsia, chindo viburnum...the 
list goes on.  It looks like South Carolina in my front yard, which is more 
protected.  My camellias are pushing eight feet, and the biggest chindo 
viburnum is pushing 20 feet.  Frankly, I love it.  As the article says, I 
never would have thought to plant any of these things 20 years ago, and now 
I use them regularly in landscape designs.
