I've always loved tropical plants and flowers. Nothing screams "paradise" like huge Elephant Ears, fragrant Plumeria, colorful hibiscus and, of course, palm trees! Since my recent move from the east coast to the west coast, where the climate is more amiable towards tropicals, I have developed that love even deeper. I'd actually rather have a "Backyard Jungle" over a tiki bar for my escapism. Until that day comes, I can only dream...and snag eye-candy images off the 'net! So, here are some I've collected over the past few years that really trip my trigger. I can picture sipping a mai tai with exotica music on the hi-fi in any one of these "backyards"!
