Native plants for a Cape Cod garden

Wildlife. I love it. Aside from the many birds, it runs the gamut from chipmunks, turkeys, opposums, raccoons, squirrels to the occasional coyote. I left out Peter rabbit on purpose because he’s on my bad list lately. This herbivore seems to have developed a taste for Uvularia grandiflora (large-flowered bellwort), the occasional non-native daffodil, and most heartbreakingly the Podophyllum peltatum (mayapple). I’ve waited painstakingly for two years while the one plant I have in the garden was teethering on the brink of no return. Two weeks ago I saw multiple stems from what seemed to have become a healthy rootstock. Oh joy! Finally! Alas – As soon as the leaves emerged, they were mowed down (and unceremoniously spit out) by our resident rabbit. Rabbit stew looks better every day.
