Want to start a Woodland Garden

I'm wanting to start a woodland garden. I live in North Florida, and have large, shady oak trees around my house and acidic soil good for woodland plantings. I would like to have hardy rhododendrons, azaleas, and other native shrubs. I have several hemlocks already planted that are doing well, as well as several bloodroots and a native species of orchid. When you read the list I'm sure you'll say "Well that won't grow in Florida!" but I have seen many northern plants grow well here in North Florida, and I'm willing to try anything! I am in need of many plants (preferably seeds), and I'm looking for some help for finding the right places.

What I need:

Rhododendron

Turk's Cap Lily

Cranefly Orchid

Pink Turtlehead

Flame Azalea

Mountain Laurel

Lady's Slipper

Trillium (mixed species)

Fraser Fir

Does anyone have any of these kinds of seeds/seedlings to spare or can point me in the right direction? Any help is MUCH appreciated. Thank you for your time.
