Re: 'native' plants vs.. 'other' plants

In our discussion of natives we should realize that hybrids occur 
throughout the world from Eucalyptus in Australia to Rockroses in Italy 
to Arctostaphylus and Ceanothus in California. I prefer straight species 
myself but I must admit that hyrids, whether "natural" or "artifical" 
sometimes fill an important void for specific needs in the garden.
