Interesting collection of plants--
If readers are interested in charts on the 32 native conifers, 32 native broadleaved trees, and 34 native wildflowers in the Northwest, see Good Nature's flora and fauna posters. Treemendous Teacher discounts available for your outreach and education-- and printed on green papers.

We are starting work on a new Rain Garden poster for Clackamas SWCD, Portland Metro and other people interested in reducing storm water pollution in the NW. Check it out online.

If not already noted somewhere here, check out the Portland Plant List - available on line and hopefully still in hard copy from the Portland Bureau of Planning - an amazing resource for plants native to the Portland area, even breaking it down into plant communities found in different parts of the area.
Also, the photo of Aquilegia formosa is, I think, incorrect. Orange-red and yellow, not red and white. See this photo for comparison:
