Tropical Backyard Landscape?

I live in Northern Ca (Sacramento Area) and I am planning a tropical themed backyard. It rarely gets below 30 degrees in the winter (maybe a little lower at night, but i can get those blankets to prevent the plant from freezing) and at its hottest point it gets up to 115 degrees in the summer.

With that being said, which plants would do the best in my area? Ideas in flowers, ground cover, and any other suggestions or help would be great! Thanks in advance
Are there any sites online where it shows which tropical plants survive in this area?

I have tropical plants around my pool area and love the look.
Yucca plants are so easy to grow and look great.
Umbrella plant also looks tropical and is very easy to grow.
I also have: both red and yellow cannas, bird of paradise, and saga palms.
Oh yes, Hibiscus. I have 4 different colors of those.

    Elephant ear, jade plants, bird of paradise, palms, ficus trees, varigated and green, ivy, rubber trees, bougenvalia, agavie, canna lilies, and vinca. All I can think of right now.
