Hi All!
I'm new here and happy to see a forum to talk with like minded gardeners. Here's a few of my favs:

Pollinators of Native Plants: Attract, Observe and Identify Pollinators and Beneficial Insects with Native Plants

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger

I heard Jessica Walliser give her talk at the Perennial Plant Conference at Scott Arboretum and bought her book. "Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden". Great information for anyone interested in native plants.

Agree with Treehugger, Jessica Walliser's book is excellent.

Here's a new link a friend told me about: http://nwf.org/nativePlantFind...

I haven't explored it much yet, but it looks really neat. It lets you find native plants for your area and find out which butterflies use them as host plants. There's also a feature allowing creation of a personal list, which will be handy when I want to figure out which caterpillar is on one of my plants, etc!

My go-to native guidebook is 'Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast' published by Lone Pine. I take it along with us when camping and hiking, as well as when out exploring our back woods. Their web site shows several others specific to different regions: lonepinepublishing.com

I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
