There is a plumeria specialist who sells to all the other nursuries right in your own backyard - he's in the yellow pages in northridge.
they die back in winter, but you can grow them here.
also we've had especially great luck in the valley with bird of paradise, banana palms and japanese arelia. queen palms have been just ok. and the hibiscus for some reason have been more finicky.
