And oh, by the way, my buffalo grass lawn is doing quite well and its

Not very familiar with the species, as it is not common hereabouts,
but the name alone tells me it is likely very well suited to your
neighborhood. *Though, of course, we also had bison hereabouts a while
back......buffalo grass may well be a native species in western
Curdistan, for all I know.

Nice map and I do notice that there was some tall grass prairie in
Curdistan, though not in your area. There is anecdotal evidence from
the early pioneers that small expanses of prairie were found in areas
of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and New York.
Buffalo grass is the only turf grass native to the US. Pretty nice
stuff.
