Version 0.31

Added

• Native swaps: crape myrtle now has natives beside it — serviceberry and redbud in the Mid-Atlantic, fringetree and Simpson's stopper in Florida. It's a fine tree on nobody's invasive list; about three kinds of caterpillar live on it. See the swaps
• Native swaps: a bahiagrass lawn in central Florida meets sunshine mimosa — a low pink-flowered mat you mow two or three times a year instead of weekly.
• Native swaps: eight more of the plants people actually buy now have natives beside them — mophead hydrangea, lilac, Japanese spirea, Indian hawthorn, lantana, Japanese andromeda, horse-chestnut and Chinese wisteria. See the swaps
• Native swaps: horse-chestnut goes brown and shrivelled by high summer now, all over Europe — a leaf-mining moth spread with it. Small-leaved lime keeps its leaves, and hums with bees in July.
• Native swaps: lantana really is a nectar bar, and Florida's worst-tier invasive besides. California fuchsia brings the hummingbirds without the thickets or the berries that poison livestock.
• Native swaps: a mophead hydrangea's big florets are sterile — bred for size, so no nectar and no pollen. Arrowwood viburnum and Pacific ninebark carry the same white plates, every floret working.
• Native swaps: nine more, taken in order of how widely they're grown — ginkgo, sweetgum, southern magnolia, strawberry tree, Mexican bush sage, Cape plumbago, bottlebrush, Japanese cheesewood and trailing lantana.
• Native swaps: a ginkgo is a marvel and no caterpillar on this continent has ever met one, so a ginkgo avenue is a place birds hunt and find nothing. Red maple feeds close to three hundred kinds.
• Native swaps: the Central California Coast has its first swap stories — madrone for a strawberry tree, hummingbird sage for a Mexican one, beach strawberry for trailing lantana. See the swaps
• Native swaps: nine more from the top of the list — rosemary planted by the hundred on banks, Norway spruce, giant sequoia, European beech, oakleaf hydrangea, star magnolia, blue passionflower, jade plant and garden tulips. See the swaps
• Native swaps: if a passionflower appealed because of the butterflies, California pipevine is the local version of that bargain — the only plant the pipevine swallowtail's caterpillars can eat, anywhere.
• Native swaps: a bed of modern tulips is a shop window with nothing on the shelves — the nectar has been bred out of the doubles and parrots. Bluebells come back thicker every year instead of thinner.
• Native swaps: keep the rosemary by the kitchen door. This is about the banks and car parks planted with it by the hundred, a hundred miles from anywhere it grew up.
• Plants: five natives the lists were missing — American beech, American basswood, eastern hemlock and eastern white pine join the Mid-Atlantic, and coontie joins North & Central Florida. See the plants
• Plants: American beech is now the answer to a European one, which is a better sentence than the oak we had to offer before. Same grey trunk, same copper winter leaves, and the caterpillars are here.
• Plants: coontie is the only plant an Atala butterfly caterpillar can eat, and its range is creeping back north as people replant it. It belonged on the central Florida list all along.
