Hey Pauly, flowering maple is a commonly grown ornamental usually grown as a houseplant. Try Wayside gardens I think they're in South Carolina. If not ,let me know , they should be pretty easy to find.

I grow them...I started mine from seeds...They are really prone to whiteflys and aphids, but with control, they are beautiful plants...I put mine outside on my east facing deck during the summer and indoors in a west facing window for winter.

To me, they are worth it since I was told they don't "grow" here by a local nursery :)
