Great looking plants, Kevin!
Our Michael's up here in WA (and our JoAnn's) both carry a nice range of artificial and natural dried & preserved plants. Most recently, wandering the store with my wife, I noticed the 'pot toppers' that have been mentioned here and elsewhere (even in MR!) and a new product that would pass for good forest floor in a wet, green place.
Since I model Appalachia I don't need a continuous thick green carpet in my forest, at least not all over, but a different look depending on elevation, rainshed, etc. So I'm still deciding what to go for. All that to say, you're dead-on about knowing your locale and how to say to the viewer, THIS IS _______. More layouts could benefit from a little scenic distinction, and yours is very distinctive indeed!

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
