Yes, Josephine but we have to consider the whole world. Is it native to the rest of the world. We are an international brotherhood of gardeners here & can't exclude our friends in other countries.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

Here's your daisy, 3G, shrunk.

Josephine, I'm not sure we're allowed to use photos from that site.
I'd have to ask Dave or do some research about it.

Here's the image you sent, Tee. And I also noticed you said the USDA images are in the public domain, but even so, is goldenrod native everywhere.

So badge sized grass:

Ann, I don't know that there is a plant that would be native all over the world, I think that would be difficult to find.

Sharon, this picture is unrestricted http://wildflower.org/gallery/...

Of course this doesn't mean that this is the right plant, it is just a suggestion. Smiling

That image of the grass (wild sugarcane) is in the public domain but I can't vouch for the rest of the things on the USDA website.

I like it too but the image you started with of the daisy is better, IMHO. I kinda think we're leaning toward that one. They don't all shrink down so well, do they?

Cross-posted with Josephine. We had a little discussion about using a daisy a little way up the thread.

Josephine, that's a great image. Would you send it to me via Tmail without the copyright at the bottom?

If not, I might find one in the database that would work.

Which other image Tee?

I'll work on a better one of the hand drawn daisy if you want it, but I think Josephine's might also work.

Just need to find some green paper around here somewhere.

Yes, the one that used to look like a fried egg. Green Grin! Whichever works best, I'd say. Josephine's is very pretty, no doubt about it. And a daisy is very recognizable as a wildflower. Green Grin!

Here's a white coneflower from the database. Looks daisy-ish.

That one shrinks well, but I .... I hate to be the odd man (person?) out here, but when I see a flower I don't think "native," I think "flowers"

Of course, that's why we can mouse over them to see what they mean. Kind of like when I see a question mark badge Hilarious!

I still like the idea of the letter N or NP in a small blue colored square. N for native or NP for native plant. There are so many different kinds of native plants, trees, shrubs, grasses perennials, annuals, etc.

So true Lynn and that should be easy to do...my vote would be NP rather then just N.
