So, I mentioned a newspaper article about invasive #JapaneseStiltgrass to my hubby, which has appeared in Southern Maine recently, and wondered if we had some in our yard. He looked at some plants using the #FloraApp and they aren't stiltgrass, but #HairyCrabgrass -- which was used as a substitute for #Millet in Europe (especially #Poland) and is apparently quite #DroughtResistant. Very cool! I'll be encouraging that to grow!

So, last year, I used the #FloraApp to help identify what was growing in an overgrown area. I've pulled out a lot of the invasives (especially the vines), and now the #MockOrange is flourishing, as are the wild #Hydrangea beneath it. The native bees are very happy!
