Yes, southern AK IS the Riviera! I'm about 400+ miles north in the Interior. Much colder, but it's amazing what we can grow with a little extra effort. It's just really hard to get stuff since the local vendors only bring in the "usual", common stuff and often times it's like pulling teeth to get a vendor in the Lower 48 to ship here...despite the fact 99.9% of the time, everything arrives perfectly fine as long as the receiver has a P.O. box. I've gotten hundreds of live plants, bulbs and tubers with no problem.
Unfortunately, I've determined I don't take many full pot or full yard pics. A goal for this year--more pot shots...LOL. I have a million unlabeled individual blooms...Here's Arctic Queen. She's in a pot so it counts as a container and I thought it was appropriate.
I've got 12 Lion's Tail growing in the garage from seed. They reached 8' last year. Going to see if I can find Kangaroo Paws right now...LOL
