Re: Native Plant Rescue

Hello Carolyn,
    I have seen this book mentioned elsewhere and the title came up at 
dinner here over the holidays with guests. Has anyone read the chapter on 
"Why Can't Insect Eat Alien Plants"? Pretty broad statement at face value. 
Obviously insects DO eat alien plants, pollinate and feed. So, is he saying 
they cannot or is he stating the consequences of the behavior? Inquiring 
minds and all that....
