There are two trees that I would like to be able to grow, one is the Flamboyant Tree, Delonix regia (already mentioned), and the other is Jacaranda mimosifolia.
Excellent idea by Fairygirl which I'm going to steal. Yew - clipped to provide a variety pf height and structure from low blocks and hedges to pillars and tree forms. Then.... erm... hardy geraniums? No, roses, I think. I think you could make an actual garden from that.
