This list was compiled in May, 2011. It is a partial list that we will continue to fill out. It is primarily native plants in a 3-4 acre area, but mostly those we consider to be interesting. It needs to be expanded to include the many less noticeable, or even annoying, plants that cohabit with their more favored brethren. But it is a start.
The list reflects our use of native plants in the landscape. In some cases, we have entire beds of native plants. In others, natives are mixed with cultivars. And in still others, we have noted plants at the edge of the yard or stream that we like and value but are mixed in with the "weeds." These distinctions can be inferred from the location attribute.
The list is currently maintained as an excel spreadsheet, but we hope to extend it to a database format.
