I don't normally list 'retail' sites, but I had a request from a nice lady, asking for help in getting her business off to a great start.  She sells Butterfly Bushes and many other host and nectar plants.   Unfortunatly, she can't ship to Fla, but if you're in one of the states he's licenced to ship plants too, maybe she can help you find great stuff for your butterfly and hummingbird gardens!  She told me "My plants are nice, Melany. Honest. The few people who ordered from me last year via the Internet just loved what they got. All called or emailed to say that they just couldn't believe the quality and size they got for the price. I just have to get more people to my site---or give this up and go get a real job!"  Maybe you can help her out - let me know how ya like her.
