I forgot to mention in my previous post that there might
also be great value in your natives as seed sources
to others who wish to grow the same plants.

In Southern California where I live, California Golden
Poppy seeds were $45.00 per ounce when I last
bought them fifteen years ago.

Starting a nursery and selling the natives in the cities
might be more profitable than farming. And a lot less
work.

Investigate carefully.
