Big changes are happening with this site and it is currently under construction. If you see names and logos for Central Washington Native Plants (cwnp) along with Flora of the Inland Pacific Northwest name this is why: This site originally started out as my pet project for wildflowers while I was still an amateur botanist just in the first year of community college, and all that I knew or had seen was Central Washington. Since then I have been privileged work, live , and visit other portions of the Pacific Northwest. The Flora of the Pacific Northwest has been an invaluable guide for me (though outdated), and since most of my botanizing is primarily east of the Cascades, the new website name for this site is Flora of the Inland Pacific Northwest, in order to encompass my greater widening botanical travels. Because this site includes over 500 separate pages and CSS was hardly heard of when I started, it may take a while to get all the new as well as the old with the new name of the site. Please be patient. Because most of the traffic on this website is returning traffic, the website address- www.cwnp.org is not going to be changed at least in the near future although the website name will.
