There is a good trade show at the end of this month in Atlantic City called PANTS. There will be plenty of opportunity there to meet nurseries that have more unusual plants. Lots of the growers in NJ and PA have weekly deliveries in your area. At the end of January or beginning of February there is a trade show in Boston called New England Grows!. That will also be a great source of growers for you. I would be glad to help but have gotten out of brokering and now sell equipment.
Good luck and ask lots of questions at the shows. I see many people that just walk around and take catalogs. That is such a wasted trip. Take this opportunity to get to know the growers and they will be more likely to help you during the season after building a personal relationship at the show.
After show hours there are always folks out having drinks and discussing the industry. Go to the closest bar outside the show and meet some folks. I have found this to be the best way to get into the inside of the industry.
