Ill try and Take some pics some time.
Everything is really green here at the moment lots and lots of rain.
I have a pic from early this year.
You can get the tropical look without having the climate though. Plants like
Paulownia, Fatsia, Ricinus, Ligularia and Rheum should be hardy enough to give the large leaves for a tropical look. Add a few sedges and maybe stipa gigantea and miscanthus floridulus. Then finish the effect with some real bright colour from unusual bedding varities. Like the celosias and Amaranthus.
Well thats my key to a tropical garden when its freezing outside.
Have fun
