The Wildflower Center's Native Plant Information Network allows you to search for native plant info by plant traits or names, browse through our collection of 24,000 native plant images, and pose your plant question to our resident horticulturalist.

We are obligated to leave the country looking as good if not better than we found it. - Lady Bird Johnson
