Stop on Sanibel on the way down if you get a chance. Its worth the trip just to drive through the ding darling sanctuary. There is a nursery on the island. I bet its expensive, like everything else but at least it supports a good cause.

One other suggestion. About a half hour east of Naple is the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, run by the Audobon Society ( i think ). This is a killer hike through a amazing bald cypress swamp on a boardwalk. Its like stepping back in time and theres crazy birds, plants, reptiles etc. everywhere!

Edited- to insert to plant list. Its seems dated but the list is extensive and really the prices are not too expensive IMO.
