Native flowers of the Chesapeake Bay?

I have to plant and tend native flowers that grow along the Chesapeake Bay. Any names of flowers/sites? Thanks! (Has to be easy to buy the seeds and tend to)

Native flowers of the Chesapeake Bay?
Happy planting.





An article about the Flower Hunter at http://www.baygateways.net/flowerhunter.... refers to "the glowing Maryland goldenaster, the exuberant daisy fleabane….the cobalt blue bottle gentian, Maryland’s own indigenous cactus, the prickly pear, the elegant foxglove beardtongue and the charming pink fuzzy bean".





Native seed is available at Chesapeake Native Nursery in Davidsonville, a few miles south of Annapolis.
