Subscribe to Sunset magazine for starters, or go look on their website. I've found literally TONS of ideas for my backyard. Also, I know this might sound somewhat archaic, but try going to your library and checking out a book or two on tropical landscaping. As for the what you can find on the Internet, you;re goanna have to just type in phrases into google or yahoo to see what you can come up with.

I always get my ideas at the local nursery or garden centre. If you still aren't sure, ask the staff to show you the tropical theme plants. Also, what you plant depends on what zone you are in. anything lower than a zone 8 often requires some kind of frost protection or move into a greenhouse.

I would type the words "Hawaiian theme backyard" into your search engine and see what comes up.

Look on HGTV. They often have House Hunters episodes set in Hawaii.
