Welcome to California Native Plants! I hope you enjoy your visit to this community and learn something new. While you're here, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
-Don't be a jerk, keep discussions civil.
-Don't promote illegal activity. (AFAIK, Guerilla gardening isn't illegal per se, and tends to fall more in the realm of civil dispute, so it isn't covered by this rule. If you're going to do it, please try to proceed respectfully and don't vandalize people's property)
-Forage with caution! You're welcome to seek plant identification advice here, including for the purpose of foraging, but we make absolutely no guarantees about the quality of the identification, as none of the participants here are vetted for their knowledge. I highly recommend doing your own homework and seeking out the opinion of local experts and guidebooks over relying solely on the opinion of internet strangers. However, communities like this one can be a useful resource for a second opinion, and that's how I recommend you use it for identification purposes. Foraging is a serious matter, and eating the wrong plant can leave you or others dead or disabled. You consume any plants on the advice given here fully at your own risk, as we should not be considered a primary source of knowledge on the matter of foraging.
-Mistakes are welcome, malice is not. Users suspected of intentionally giving malicious or willfully bad advice or promoting blatantly ecologically destructive practices will be warned exactly once before being permanently banned.
-This community is focused primarily on plants native to California. For better or worse, a lot of non-native plants can be found in our state as well. It's not against the rules to discuss or identify non-native plants, but the primary focus here is on promoting plants that are native to the state.
