What happened to the NY Flora Atlas?

By Kathy Purdy April 25, 2007 – Posted in: Native/Invasive

Does anyone know what happened to the NY Flora Atlas? I can get a cached image of the site on Google, but my browser tells me the server can’t be found. Did the organization go under? Did they lose funding for the website? It seemed like such a worthy project, mapping native populations of various plants. Every state should have such a website for both natives and invasives. Does your state have such a website, either government sponsored or state-sponsored?

One week later: Does this look like Spring to you?

In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

sewobsessed–the link you gave was the link I had in my bookmarks and the first one I tried. When it said “Server not found,” that’s when I tried googling it. They must have been doing some kind of system maintenance, because it certainly works now. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
