Flowers for north Florida?

Question:I need some ideas of flowers to plant in this horrible soil. I have 2 flower beds. One is full sun and the other is part sun (sunny in the morning and shady in the after noon). I added manure and miracle grow to the flower beds last year. I wasn't exactly sure of what to add.
