Sorry had to say that after hearing those temps and conditions. Which may actually be worse than mine. I don't think anything really with large leaves will survive for you unless your able to protect it from the dry winds and heat. Your best luck is going to be heat tolerant plants yuccas and cacti. If your going to go for it anyways and try cannas or Colocasias. Here is my theory on how to grow them. Find a area with the least wind dig you a pond or bog and grow them directly in the water. They should do better at keeping hydrated than anywhere else. Building a microclimate is possible but is also a challenge. If your interested in building a microclimate around a porch or small area let me know I can give you more info if you want to go that way with your tropical garden.



Here is proof that growing plants are in my genes. This is my uncles yard.
