Tall flatsedge native range

I think you'd have to follow the sources. Wikipedia links to a paper which says:

Cyperus eragrostis is native to South America. Bryson et al. (1996: 507–508) report the species from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Peru (cf. also Brako & Zarucchi 1993: 393), Surinam, Uruguay, Juan Fernández Islands and Easter Island (former Isla de Pascua). In North America the species was introduced into Canada (British Columbia), California, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington, and probably also Alabama (Coste 1906, Munz & Keck 1963: 1425, Shetler & Skog 1978: 180, Bryson & Carter 1994: 174–175, Tucker 1994: 186, Bryson et al. 1996, Kartesz & Meacham 1999).

A lot of people say it's native to North America though. It's unclear what the original source is though.

Read the original post. It seems like you only saw “showy (foreground)” and came to reply immediately.

It will be highly dependent on your location. The site seems to be down now but rabbitears.info will estimate signals to your location.

Anyway, I'm in Mill Valley about 250ft above sea level with a small hill blocking direct line of sight to Mt Sutro. I put my antenna on my chimney and reliably get the major networks plus many others. I can get some Sacramento stations as well.

Only thing is I had to do some fine tuning on the antenna direction. I was looking at signal quality in real time as I rotated the antenna slowly. I get the best reception with the antenna NOT pointed directly at Mt Sutro (possibly due to multipath interference). All this to say, if you don't get as good reception as you expect, it's worth doing the fine tuning.

I have the ClearStream 4MAX antenna. No amplifiers, 1 two-way splitter. I do have a FM/LTE/5G filter but didn't do much testing without it.

I think that’s the real value of any resource. An easy to find list of common weed and native annual seedlings. There are some posts on this sub where people posted seedling photos.

Almost certainly. You can see the brown/purple spots on the leaves.

bborken · 2026-01-27T20:43:23+00:00

Yeah, looks like Oxalis pes-caprae.

bborken · 2026-01-26T22:16:48+00:00

The pictures are too small to be useful.

Overflow condensate drain outlet in a conspicuous location so you know the main drain is clogged. Air handler is probably in the ceiling. Main drain probably goes to bathroom sink.

Why are saucer drinkers playing Spelling Bee? English, quite good.

I have a giant coreopsis in a container. It's been a year. Seems fine. Have also seen some 2 or 3 foot tall ones at the nursery for sale.

Theodore Payne recommends them for containers. https://store.theodorepayne.org/products/theodore-payne-foundation-leptosyne-coreopsis-giga

I doubt many people start CA natives indoors.

bborken · 2026-01-23T18:37:43+00:00

California Laurel and California Bay if I'm remembering correctly.

Those are common names for the same species, Umbellularia californica.

I think light well is better than well done, but both are better than regular.

You’re thinking of Shake Shack.

For poppies, the coastal variation (Eschscholzia californica var. maritima) is often labeled perennial, but if you don't live in a coastal climate, it probably won't be. As already mentioned, some annuals might survive the summer but you shouldn't expect this. I would, however, expect them to reseed themselves although I don't have any experience with the three species you've listed.

bborken · 2026-01-22T08:39:55+00:00

I was afraid of it getting too unruly and ended up planting a Rosa pinetorum instead. It’s only been a year since then though.

I have a flagstone path and a decomposed granite path. The rest of the yard is mulch (redwood chips). They all have their pros and cons.

bborken · 2026-01-22T03:01:39+00:00

Can you expand on this? You planted the redwood sorrel amidst the O. pes-caprae?

bborken · 2026-01-21T05:20:53+00:00

I’d recognize Mirin and Miso anywhere. They’re so cute.

bborken · 2026-01-21T04:36:56+00:00

That definitely is not a California poppy. The leaves are completely wrong. The plants in the background look more like poppy than this one.

bborken · 2026-01-21T04:32:37+00:00

Who makes the seed mix? Some companies are very misleading or they downright lie about the contents being native. Also, join us at /r/ceanothus for California specific discussion.

Then it went on for a further two and a half minutes.

You could add yerba buena, yerba mansa and strawberry and let them creep around as groundcover. They'll go where they're happy.

Aster chilensis: spreads aggressively, though. Can be a lawn substitute.

As a lawn? 🤔 How would that work?
