United StatesThis App helps find and identify plants. When you give the App information about a plant, such as its location, flower color and the time of year, the App will quickly show you which plants match your selections. The App includes 3,604 species of plants found in East Texas. Overall, 2,007 are "Wildflowers", 356 are shrubs, 286 are broadleaf trees, 20 are conifers, 130 are vines, 21 are cactus, 603 are grass-like, 77 are fern-like, 144 are moss-like, 26 are seaweed and 168 are lichen.
Did you know, Texas, is not Illinois?
Groundbreaking. I know. Seems pretty obvious, but the two states are not comparable geographically, ecologically, visually, culturallyc etc. So, tell me why every single flower & plant description is, verbatim, copied from Illinois State Wildlife Department & pasted into the “description” section of the app. Why doesn’t this work? 1) “It can be common in our area.” One of the commonly listed descriptions. - Not really our area, though, is it? Illinois, I mean. Really though, don’t even have descriptions. If you don’t have the follow through or information or time to write accurately, don’t pretend to. I get that larger ecoregions blend into each other, but no. Can’t tell you how stupid it is to use Illinois as the main reference, when we have wildflower.org made just for Texas. Copy and paste those descriptions. The rest of the app is good, for the sole reason of ease of access to a native-ish plant list. The rest is unreliable, but full of potential. Best part of the app: The native vs invasive maps.
United StatesWonderful for learning wildflowers and flora!
I LOVE this app! Super user-friendly and easy to use. It gives you all the information on wildflowers- where they’re geographically found, shape, size, features, etc. You can filter the flowers by color, petal numbers, size, etc. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! You can also identify trees, shrubs, mosses, fungi, etc! It says “wildflowers” in the name of the app, but it has ALL flora in the database! We have this app downloaded for multiple other states too. It’s wonderful! Can’t say enough about it!

United StatesFinally!!!!
An app from my neck of the desert!!!! Thank you! It works great!!!
United StatesElegantly simple
Love this! It is so much more convenient (and cheaper) than carrying a stack of field guides while we do nature studies for homeschool.
United StatesUseful and Simple
Great for field identification or casual searching. I live in the Houston area, and I've already been able to identify more than thirty wild flowers quickly and easily. Could be a bit more mobile friendly- there's some sideways scrolling involved to see all of the categories. Definitely worth a try.

Added tree and shrub descriptions from Virginia Tech FREC.
