LOL I guess so! South Florida can have all this stuff outside but unless you are wealthy you don't usually have a huge yard in So Fl that you can turn into the tropics. I have a friend in Ft Lauderdale who lives on a canal, he wanted to turn his grass yard into a tropical yard and had to buy sledge hammers and pick axes to break up the coral layer right under the soil and make little islands and hammocks of store bought soil in which to plant. It was a long process took a few years to get what he wanted but eventually it looked great. Plumeria, heliconias, palms, Ravenella (travelers palms), bromeliads, all sorts of stuff, I gave him all the heliconias as starts from my collection.
