They're neat!

I saw some ( I think they were aralia) outdoors at the tulsa, ok zoo last week. Looked just like your plant on the right. They were big, so I think they were in-ground all year here. Also spotted small tree sized caesalpinia pulchirrima (I'm sure I butchered that) too. How hardy are those aralia that you have?

They are said to not like below 60F...I have seen plants like what your taking about,I wonder if those aren't some kind of Japanese maple cultivar...?

I've had several over the years.
Could never keep 'em alive after I put them outside in the summer.
