Louisiana Showcase Nurserey is in Baton Rouge. I expect the Lowe's and Home Depot in your area will carry them also. The Lowe's in Baton Rouge already has spindle palms, triangle palms and foxtail palms. They also currently have white and orange bird of paradise. These are plants that until recently were not readily available in our area. I expect the trend to continue with even more tropical plants available this year. In all the new housing developements around here I am seeing more and more previously uncommon plants being used for landscaping. If you look around you can find some great deals. I just bought a really nice spindle palm about 5' tall for $20 at Lowe's. Then last week I bought a 6' queen palm for $11.25 at Home Depot. Just be sure to check out how hardy the plants are that you are buying. I will have to keep the spindle palm in a pot and bring it in during winter.
