Hello, fellow Central Californian Permi,
   
  Right now I am up to my eyeballs in finals but I have a resource in mind 
that you may find useful.  In Aptos, California (Santa Cruz Co) is a 
wonderful native plant nursery called Native Revival.  They have the most 
helpful book there for purchase, that they have put together which I 
reference all the time...and it is free with a purchase of $100 or more.  In 
it, they list hundreds of native plants (which grow wild and pop up in many a 
garden and therefore may be labeled as weeds...we call them pioneer plants).  
Along with cultural preferences and physical appearances it also lists 
Wildlife Value and Native American uses, including basic medicinal uses.  So 
if you are in the neighborhood, look them up.

this was the first one, i jsut pasted all my postie notes from my desktop, but
havent organized them much yet.

tiddlyspots are free. pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. just
make a word have two capital letters and no space (NoSpace) and it becomes a
wikiword, with its own new tiddler.
