newbie needs advice/recommendations

Hi all,
Am new to a lot of this gardening. Sunflowers have always grown for me but have been trying all sorts of things, tomatoes, herbs, more flowers, etc....and am loving it!

I am now curious about moon gardening. Got a pkt. of moon flowers the other day & have grown jasmine for a while.
Please tell me (in Florida) what are the best/easiest flowers/plants you can recommend & what are the most likely night time visitors I can expect to a moon garden in my area?
Thanks! :)

I'm in Tampa, in the burbs, so not a whole lot of wildlife within the walls of my community, lol. But I use to grow moon flowers and was amazed at the luna moths that came by. I actually have some pictures of one that just emerged one morning at the link below.

How about night blooming cerus? It's suppose to attract bats, but again, they're few and far between in the burbs here so can't say I've ever seen one out there on the flowers, but then again, I don't stay up all night either, lol.

Beautiful garden, crueltyfree. I love your favorite corner! and I wish we got Luna moths in So Cal.

I would be wary of attracting bats, they can carry rabies.
