This App, which operates without an internet connection, 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 3,544 species of plants found in Virginia. Overall, 1,724 are "Wildflowers", 320 are shrubs, 266 are broadleaf trees, 34 are conifers, 87 are vines, 587 are grass-like, 96 are fern-like, 302 are moss-like, 30 are seaweed and 256 are lichen.
Please add text search
Lovely app. Good interface. Would benefit from ability to include text search field for searching. For example “thorns” and any of the advanced botanical anatomy taxonomy terms used by pros. Also would benefit from multi-item selections. White+Pink. Forest+ Disturbed. One Inch + Half Inch. My first three attempts in Virginia have failed. Great app however, in basic design.
Great resource
These apps are a great resource to get reliable photos and geographic data on plants, invaluable in the field in areas out of service.
Wonderful 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 were able to identify lots of flowers in Shenandoah NP using this app, as well as a few trees and shrubs. We have this app downloaded for multiple other states too. It’s wonderful! Can’t say enough about this app!
Added Virginia Tech FRAC tree and shrub descriptions.
