Pictures of my Tiki Hut Exhibit  This year I decided to create a bamboo tiki hut display for my tropical-theme plants.  The hut was made from long, sturdy bamboo shoots and the thatched roof was made from palmetto leaves.  The background was a bamboo mat, and also inside the hut was a plush monkey and colorful parrot.
