Not only is it tough to find native plants at most big box stores, it's not uncommon to find invasives for sale. A mistake many people make is confusing the term wildflower with native. Good point!

We picked up several at a local native plant sale this past weekend. We also went to look for a tree at a box store. I was amazed that almost everything at the box store was exotic and if you didn't know what was native and what wasn't, the plants weren't labeled that way. I can see why so many exotics get planted and used, if you aren't really looking it can be difficult to find natives. We have just begun introducing native plants to our yard in our new home.

I started bouncing up and down when I saw the ferns return after being damaged by my landlord accidentally. I'm in SE Virginia. Think beachy swampy clay, lots of pine. Ferns, trilliums, trout lily, violets. I love it! :) Great blog…I love native plants! I started bouncing up and down when I saw the ferns return after being damaged by my landlord accidentally.
