I'm going to start sharing a series of posts on public online resources that I love, just because! The first is the PNW Herbarium Consortium (https://www.pnwherbaria.org/data/search.php). Type in your favorite native species and it will show where it's been found throughout the region, with collection details in a handy side pane. It'll even include unusual occurrences of species outside its normal range. Like CA Bay Laurel/Oregon Myrtle growing in Tacoma. #plants #washington #botany #pacificnorthwest
