A trip to Bali or Hawaii may not be on the horizon, but a tropical garden could bring the romance of an exotic locale right into your backyard. The look is lush and seductive, abounding in striking colors and contrasts. Shocking pink, chartreuse, lemon yellow, burgundy and orange can be set off to brilliant advantage by the deep greens of tropical foliage. Surprisingly, many tropical-looking plants can withstand cooler temperatures, so don't limit your ideas...think wild.
