This was a big mast year, and the fat acorns and crazy-hippie cups were all around the trees. I'm glad you've included non-native species, Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334628837533439470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723269882919206612.post-67433705928690734652009-10-27T16:59:12.914-04:002009-10-27T16:59:12.914-04:00Wow, if this is it, I'm happy.

And I just have two points in response to continue the discussion about common names: Most species have many different common names, and I had limited space, so I had to choose two or (rarely) three or four alternate names to highlight.
