I'm currently working out in the backyard this year to turn that into a Midwestern "Tropical" Paradise. Quite a few plants on my list are hardy for this zone, yet still have a "tropical" look to them. Of course I'll have a bunch of tikis sprinkled through also.

Sound pretty damn cool. I would love to see what plants you are talking about. Unfortunately I don't own any yard yet (living in a condo) but would love to see some inspiration for a back yard once I find myself a house.
