I saw this at Pharyngula’s Botanical Wednesday, and what a cool guide! Not just for us dinosaur watchers, but all of us golf course lawn haters, too. Just input your zip code, and Audubon pops up with a list of native plants. Going through mine, I was doing much nodding, most everything on the list is a commonplace sight, and a healthy amount of the listed flora is on property, including a lot of things that have gone unidentified for years. I haven’t gone through everything though, that will be something of a chore, as my zip yielded 15 pages of native plants.
Cool. Just bookmarked it. I got 43 pages (426 plants). I’ll narrow the search down by flying dinos I don’t see much (or at all) right now and start making a list of plants.
! That’s a lot of plant.
Yeah. 60002. It’s going to be difficult to go through the list, but easy to find new plants to add to the yard.
As probably North American-oriented, that seems like an excellent resource. :) Although bits of it are probably useful for much of the European continent, too. (But no matter how much fragrant sumac I plant, I’m not likely to attract any cardinals. Sadly.)
