Seems like they could use someone who has an interest in native plants.

Absolutely, a good reason to join. I have introduced many a gardener to native plants and enjoyed watching their interest in natives grow. By the way, we do have native Irises (as you probably know) and next time you could always point that out next time ("you really should see some of the native iris"). I have Iris cristata and Iris verna (such petite blooms!) and Iris fulva (Copper iris).

Here is a picture of my copper iris blooming for the first time this year:

Nice picture and plant!

Many garden clubs look to have a speaker now and again for a meeting. stoloniferous, you could offer to speak about native plants to the club. I'm sure if you gave some information on hated and terrible invasives as well as natives that are very nice as garden and landscaping plants it would go over well. If you do a talk, make sure to have at the very least a handout with the common names and botanical names for people to take with them and that they could make notes on during your talk.

Thanks Esh and Fata. :) I think IÂm a long ways from being knowledgeable enough to give a presentation on native plants, but I am flattered that you suggest it! Perhaps thatÂs something I could aim for eventually. . .

Esh, what a beautiful iris! Nicely photographed, too! I need to research native irises. . . I donÂt know anything about them yet. :)

Cheers!
