Try palm trees, in your area they will thrive. Rubber plants and all ficus will definitely give a tropical aspect, but the fastest growing for that effect are perhaps the ferns. They are so easy to grow, so diverse, that you can have a garden full of nothing but ferns, hanging, on teh floor, you name it, and have your own jungle

a sago palm adds a jungle kind of touch. looks like a palm tree but grows low and full like a bush. also, palmetto leaves grow like wildfire and they provide alot of cover (like for privacy)
good luck.

Elephant Ears are awesome and fast growing.
Peace Lilys are also fine choices.

palms and a cactus would help.
