Hit 100 native plant species in my backyard last month

I started tracking what grows in my quarter acre in Portland about 2 years ago, just for fun. Last month I crossed 100 species, not counting weeds, and honestly it surprised me how fast it added up. About 60 of those are volunteers that showed up on their own, birds and wind brought them in. The rest I planted, mostly stuff like Oregon grape and camas that do well with zero fuss. It made me realize even a small yard can be a real habitat if you just leave some messy corners. Anyone else ever count what's growing back there and get shocked at the total?
