That's such a broad definition that it makes the term "habitat" almost meaningless. I had 500 iris seedlings growing in the utility room of my basement under grow lights from January through March of this year. By the definition above, a basement utility room would qualify as iris habitat, but a picture of such wouldn't be particularly useful in the Habitat Gallery.
