Muddy, I like that link because it is organized by season or appearance in each season. I'm particularly in late season nectar sources for migrating Monarchs in my area (Oct and Nov!)

Was very happy to meet up with Mr. Jenkins at my Farmers Market this Sat. Two years ago he was there with some of the nicest fullest Winterberry branches for sale that I have seen and ditto back with them this holiday season. They are from an Ilex verticilliata that he was instrumental in naming and getting registered with the American Holly Society called 'Maryland Beauty' so a real native. Fascinating to hear him speak of the discovery of it with Gene Eisenbiess, the holly expert from the National Arboretum and process involved. Here is a link

He says they do well in boggy or raingarden situations and take more shade than some others.
