Wow, these are some great ideas for plants. Thanks to all of you. There is already a dogwood tree on the property, I'm hoping it's not in the construction zone. And, my husband and I are both really excited to plant a Japanese red maple. I also love hydrangeas. You've listened so many great possibilities for plants. Our first stop will definitely be Tallahassee nursery to get a tour. A green house with minimal heat is a great idea. The orchids I have don't like it under 40 deg.
We're moving in just a few days, and most of my plants have gone to surrogate homes. Except one of my orchids that is in full bloom now. I can't leave it behind.
Keep your ideas coming please. Very interested in Witch Hazel, I would have never thought of that one.
