If being evocative is the goal, the effect of combining plants from the same geographical environment can be very powerful.

How about the viewer. Should we take this into account in the display? Would the intended viewer know if they are a species that grow together or come from the same geographical location. I think bloodgrass is fairly widely distributed on this planet, and may be one of those type plants that is hard to pin down as to exactly where its place of origin is.
In the example givin above for the Ca. juniper, what if the small oak was a coast cork oak? Would that qualify as a tree in a near geographical location as compared to the scrub oak which may grow a few feet from it as compared to 200 miles? Would most viewers be able to discern the difference?
Nice topic, Al
