This is awesome. I live in TX so when I have a little more time, am going to check out the various species and plants. I have deer, fox, squirrels, raccoons, etc in my yard. And some flowers that the deer won’t eat. Thanks for your hard work putting this together. Am going to forward it to a couple friends who live in other states.
While reading the wildflowers section, I noticed there were zones. However, I see no map to show these zones. If there’s anyway you can include a map of these zones, please.
