I believe if people knew plants personally and can identify them we would protect them and understand how important naturalized areas are so that's the main reason I share photos of as many different species as I can identify. Nature doesn't like mono cultures or even just a few species it likes to fill the soil with as great as diversity as it can. It's only limited by human activity.
"But men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon ploughed into the soil for compost. By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasure which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before." ~ Walden, Thoreau
" If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down! " ~ Life Without Principle, Thoreau
