Plant wish list

Well it is the start of spring.  I  am going to list some of the plants that we are interested in growing in our little garden.  The list looks a lot like what we had in Florida.  I will be adding the scientific name, size of each plant, location to be planted, and host plant information.  This is just a starting point.  We have plenty of room to add more plants but it is easy for me to get carried away.
