Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Golden Alexander
Zizia aurea
--> Correction: I had misidentified the above as golden Alexander...it is actually the invasive, skin-irritating wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa). For more information about the grotesque blisters it can cause, read here: http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/habitat/8703-wild-parsnip-plague-landscape.html
