Something else to consider, time frame. Some seeds germinate and start their life off so, so, slooooooowly. I currently have these that I started from seed:
Verbena, Phlox, Impatiens, Coleus, Portulaca, Petunia.
They have germinated, but good Lord they grow slow. I wouldnt hesitate to buy plugs if the opportunity fell in my lap. A flower that you may try though, that goes great from seed, "Stock". All sorts of colors available. We are growing for a first time this year.
I think the best bet for flowers, would be to invest in some High Pressure Sodium lights.
I am there with you as far as raising a wide variety of flowers. Its one thing to work at a nursery, its quite another when "you" ARE the nursery.
