If you went to the garden centre to pick up some Hostas, would that be considered a Hosta taking?
 
You know I'm now looking at my bare areas and thinking a hosta would look good there!

Hostaholic anonymous anyone?

Photo on 23-10-2013 at 17.52.webptoday i bought a Trachycarpus fortunei or Windmill palm as its more commonly known,i will have to protect it for quite a few winters though as its just a baby,here is a mature specimen
 
And a cute little baby it is!:) How long does it take till it looks like the tree in your first picture.
i googled that very question and results seem to vary,some people have had a foot a year some less,i suppose it depends on how it gets through the winter and where you put it,they do better planted in the ground which is what i'm doing,my garden is West facing,a more mature specimen would have been a little more hardy but prices shot up the bigger they were,a well grown one like in the photo was £170....ouch!
