• A native plant species was always naturally found in the area where it is located and has all the ecological relationships that come from always having been part of that ecosystem. 

• A wildflower species may have originated from anywhere in the world and may not be indigenous or native to an ecosystem. 

• A pollinator is an insect or animal that moves pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower. The movement of pollen helps produce fruit, nuts and seeds.
