Thank you, gardening_kristi! Once you get the hang of interpreting the BONAP maps, they are super easy and useful, aren't they? I also enjoy perusing all of the species within a genus to see what else is native around me, so BONAP can be a fun discovery tool as well!

Thank you for all this excellent info, Vanessa. It is so important for people to understand this. Just curious, do you know Prairie Up (website) in Nebraska? Fascinating stuff- great zoom talks and something you probably know, but will enjoy listening to (or reading the books) Best, Lisa
