Wildflowers, wild plants -- a bargain

Plants native to an area are well adapted to their habitat. Some people may consider them weeds and not wildflowers, but many are quite beautiful. In any garden they are easy to maintain. In Everglades National Park all species are protected. Elsewhere many can easilty be transplanted. Free!
