Hi Mahlon:
Jack in the pulpits ARE indigenous and occupy swamps in Florida, so put them
in a shaded depression or ditch, if anything.
The common midwestern Jack-in-the-pulpits aren't rare in Florida or Iowa, but
might be considered that way at the edges of their native ranges (i.e., in
distant states). However, state endangered species laws (there is no federal
protection for these) rarely apply to plants on private property, at least
not if the landowner hasn't been legally notified of their presence and
protected status.
Sorry, I don't have any transplanting info handy. But consider northern
individuals to be less adapted to Florida conditions, so transplanting
success would be less, despite being the same species. Often northern plants
only occupy cooler swamps (vs. hot, dry uplands) in Florida.
