Mom's Back Yard

The Plumeria branch I brought back last February has bloomed! It smells just like Mom's back yard when her plumeria trees are blossoming. It is very cool! My back patio is looking more like Auntie Julia's back yard in San Leandro. i remember she had hibiscus, ti, anthuriums, and other tropical plants she had brought from Hawaii. In my case, because the summers are so hot and the winters so cold, I have to be able to bring them indoors in winter and move them around in summer to take advantage of the available sun/shade. I wonder what else I can find to bring back this summer?
