Looks like Aconitum Arendsii to me. Here is a link that might be useful: Google image results

I am located in Pinellas and looking for nurseries that sell vegetable plants at a better price than Lowes or HD. Any ideas? Willow Tree sells tomato and pepper four-pack seedling sets for $1.49, could have gone up a little by now but probably not much. Not sure where you live but most independent nurseries do this, far better prices than the big-box, who occasionally bring in seedling sets but make much more money on the quart-sized plants and couldn't care less about giving you the most bang for buck when it comes to veggies.

Hi Tom, Have you already checked out Home Depot? I've bought many terra cotta pots there and I recall seeing round ones a couple of weeks back. You could also go to yellowpages.com and check the small gardening centers. Rather than driving all over St. Pete, you could call them and describe the deminsions of the pot. Good luck and please let us know when you hit the jackpot. Sue. (My plummie from you is just about to flower!)

Hello! Wow-- kind of old post but I thought I'd chime in... I am also from Naples but now live in Tampa and bought my first house a few years ago. The first/easiest thing I think to grow "up here" and "master" are cannas. They're tropical looking (at least I think so), hard to kill and can spread/multiply (although not too fast or out of control). They were about the only thing decent the previous owner left in our yard besides our majestic oak and some sorry azealeas and holly bushes. They were originially over by the pool pump but I moved them (easily!) to a sunnier side of the yard where they weren't in the way of the pool equipment...they've been happy ever since. Jacarandas and Royal Poinciana's are also very fast growing and rewarding with beautiful flowers. The lovely folks at USF Botanical Gardens, Dunchenon's Nursery (Land O Lakes but WORTH the drive), and Green Thumb Nursery (Sheldon Road) have all been very helpful in rehabing my pool area into a more tropical paradise than this house's previous neglectful gardener. Also, the Plant Stop on Hillsborough can be helpful and has a few good deals. Its been three years of a lot of relocating, weeding, planting but its getting better looking every day (not to menion graduating from college and having my first child)! Poincianas (I have a dwarf variety) will also probably remind her of Naples! :) The USF Botanical annual sale is in two weeks which may also give her some ideas. Good luck! Tanya
