A look inside

What the Wyoming pages actually look like

From the Wyoming edition

Some of what is actually in it

  • Blue Grama
  • Prairie Smoke

How the Wyoming year breaks down

Counted, not claimed

Something in the Wyoming list is in bloom from March through October, and June is the peak — 24 of the 37 species are flowering then.

8 of them are caterpillar host plants and 9 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Wyoming yards.

Before you buy

Who this is for

Made for

  • Gardeners in Wyoming planting for pollinators rather than for a catalogue
  • Anyone replacing lawn with something that belongs here
  • New Wyoming gardeners who want the timing decided for them

Not for

  • Anyone wanting exotic ornamentals; every species here is native to Wyoming
  • Precise planting dates — Wyoming timing is given as windows

Everything here describes typical timing across Wyoming, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Wyoming pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.

Where it comes from

Compiled from

USDA PLANTS Database · GBIF occurrence records · Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center · USA National Phenology Network · The Xerces Society · Cooperative Extension (land-grant directory). How each of these is used in the Wyoming edition, and which figures are measured rather than modeled, is set out in the methodology.

Questions

Before you decide

Is this specific to Wyoming, or a national guide with the name swapped in?

It is built from Wyoming's own data. The 37 species in it were filtered to those with verified occurrence records in Wyoming and to hardiness zones 3a–5b.

Wyoming spans several hardiness zones — which one does this cover?

All of them. Wyoming runs 3a–5b, and the guide carries each zone's timing rather than picking one and hoping it fits your garden.

How accurate is the timing for Wyoming?

It describes typical timing across Wyoming drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Wyoming dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".

Is it worth paying when the Wyoming pages here are free?

The free Wyoming pages are the month you are in; this is the whole Wyoming year, planned before it arrives and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.

Will it work for my part of Wyoming, or just the big cities?

It is written at state resolution — Wyoming as a whole, with regional notes where Wyoming genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.

What format is the Wyoming edition, and can I print it?

A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Wyoming pages are made to be carried outside.

What if the Wyoming guide is not what I expected?

Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Wyoming edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.

Prefer to read online first? The free Wyoming native plants reference covers the same ground on screen.
