When traveling I like to visit garden centers and nurseries. Even the big box stores are different in Zone 9. Lowes has their tropicals out alongside the spring annuals.

Not the best shot (I was trying to take a picture of the dog not the plants) but bougainvillea is vining over fence and doorways. They also have it on fence lines - it has thorny branches. It's salt and drought tolerant however tourists don't tolerate it well. A handy landscape plant when you own gulf-front property.
