No doubt he would have words about me and my CivNat gardening ways, because I don't care where my plants come from as long as they perform the function I want them to perform.

Ant it probably shouldn't be too surprising that a lot of North American vegetation isn't native, considering the early American settlers were effectively trying to recreate Europe on the North American continent. And for plants where the climates weren't quite compatible (lawn grasses, for example, don't stay green throughout the summer without irrigation in most parts of the country) we ended up importing varieties from elsewhere.
