Wild Sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis)
Alumroot (Heuchera americana)
Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum)
Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium)
Black Snakeroot (Sanicula canadensis)
Smooth Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum biflorum)
Ragged Fringed Orchid (Habeneria lacera)
Greenfly Orchid (Epidendrun conopseum)
Green Violet (Hybanthus concolor)
Indian Cucumber Root (Medeola virginiana)
Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium)

There are others, some aquatic, but many are considered noxious weeds.

oh man, that's definitely jewelweed. you DON'T want to introduce that to your area :P it spreads like crazy cause the seeds shoot everywhere like Linda said. we cannot get rid of the stuff around here - I live in a freaking swamp, so it's to be expected :P but in all fairness I'm part of the problem cause I always have to play with the seed pods, LOL. my grandmother taught me the name "touch-me-not" too :D I learned years later that the plant was actually called jewelweed. it's seriously the juiciest plant I've ever seen, lol.

According to Dave's Garden, most of them will take PH up to 7.5, so it's hard to tell if it will work or not since I am at the edge. I did try to lower the PH a bit using some peat moss, but it's hard to tell if it will work. Sulfur may work better, but I am more concern that I will apply it incorrectly. As for the retention pond, it's big enough for fish, but it does dry up in the summer. The woodland poppy has open its flower, I immediately spray it with some repellant. I notice that my tulips have all managed to spend one day in bloom before being destroyed, and I can't tell who's doing it. I am thinking it's either the rabbit or the squirrel. Paul

The two most common Allocasurinas in Victoria, or at least around Melbourne, are: Allocasurina vertcillata Allocasurina littoralis The former has very long drooping needles and is aptly named Drooping Sheoak. The latter has shorter needles that generally stick straight up. Black Sheoak. The sheoak in the photo looks like it might be littoralis. The wattle tree will be either Acacia dealbata / Silver Wattle or Acacia mearnsii / Black Wattle. The leaves consist of a main stem with smaller stems branching off, with each smaller stem being lined with leaflets. Look at the top surface of the main stem and you should see raised circular glands. If they are evenly spaced it is Acacia dealbata. If they are scattered haphazardly along the stem then it is Acacia mearnsii. All of the Melbournian Eucalypts have white or creamy flowers and the one in the photo appears to have yellow flowers. So it is not a local if you are in the Melbourne region. It in fact looks like a Western Australian species, whose name escapes me, that is commonly planted in parks and gardens around Melbourne.

Thanks Guys!

Some of those plants I had tried in my garden or grow. Those milkweeds do not do well in my garden, and the vines are not right for city, do to growing over to neighbors yards. I mainly seeker green flowing natives that are not too big, not very weedy by roots.
