Default Reliable Plant Vendors?

I am not referring to members of this board, but it occurs to me that a listing of online and catalog vendors that we have personally used successfully would be quite helpful. It could include bananas, but also other plants, which is why I put the thread here.

My list so far:

Palms- Collectorpalms.com - top quality and size and value
Plant Delights Nursery (plants are small but wonderful selection)

Aquatics- Dragonfly Aquatics (hardy water lilies and lotus)
Utopia Aquatic (tropical water lilies) -beautiful stock!

Misc.- Stokes Tropical
PDN (again)
Logee's
Van Bourgondien (bulbs)
Becky's Bulbs

Plumeria- Exotic Plumeria

Hibiscus (tropical)- Hidden Valley Hibiscus
Logee's


Additions to the list would be great!

One Green World Online Catalog - normally only ships between January and May, with a few exceptions. Sells both common and hard to find fruiting plants.

Complete List of Four Winds Dwarf Citrus Varieties - a great place to buy citrus online.
