Found a tropical plant store in St Pete that had three of the plants I’ve been looking for, Bay Laurel (Bay Leaves), Kaffir Lime (leaves used in Thai recipes) and Tea.

I use Bay leaves all the time in cooking especially soups. I don’t think that our weather would allow us to grow it here though. They are hard to find, so congrats.

I would have thought that Bay Laurel and Kaffir Lime would be more prolific in your area. I find them all the time in the Texas Hill Country stores, yet they don't survive the weather north of San Antonio often.
I keep mine in pots now so they can be moved indoors in the winter months.
