areca palms

Fort Myers, FL(Zone 10b)

I'm trying to find something I can plant under a long of stand of areca palms which forms a "fence" with our neighbors. The arecas are about 30 to 40 ft tall. I've put various bromeliads under them but the broms aren't happy. I'm looking for a small shrub type plant w/nice flowers?? I have elephant ears which do okay under the arecas and also swamp iris there, which does okay but not great. Are arecas unfriendly to other plants?
