A pdf with pictures and plants for different areas from Delaware. Finding plants for the specific conditions of place is important. Plants are native to conditions within an ecosystem not always the entire area.

That's a great article in the StarTribune. I am amazed that since beginning to make the transformation to natives, that so far I have added more than 60 different species, all within less than a 1/4 acre yard.But there is still room for more, and still many non-natives that I'd like to remove.
