Tropicalesque w/ mature traditional landscapes

OK--2 posts. I keep coming back to this forum. :-)
I like the pics some of you northern gardeners have shown of your landscaping with tropicals(+esque) But, it looks to me like you have a minimum of competition from "traditional" plantings to mar the effect. Some of us (me) have large shrubs and trees that are very much part of the yard and would be a bear to take down anyway--like hollies, azaleas, large kwanzan cherries or giant arborvitae trees in their only planting areas (front yard). How would you work around their presence and not have a weird looking outcome? That's why I have been sticking with pots on or near an under-porch patio (so far)--I don't know how to do it justice.
