A few years ago they had handouts down at the tax office at the sheriffs annex on 466. These were just what you're looking for. Papers on palms, shrubs, flowers etc. were free. Personally, anything "native" would be a good choice. We've had wonderful luck with our Pindo palm, coontie palms are native and only grow about 2 feet high. It been stressed to get the right plant for the right place in your yard. Good luck, it's lots of fun. Beware of beautiful bouganvilla's. Ours grew about 12 feet in one year and they have thorns. Consider the maintenance.
