CNM WildFlowers

The National Park Service invites you to take along a virtual botanist the next time you visit the Cabrillo Nation Monument. With almost 350 plants and 2500 photos, this App offers both novice and advanced wildflower enthusiasts the opportunity to identify common and rare plants while exploring the Park.

Visitors can choose several basic flower characteristics on the App’s interface like color, size and shape. Based on those characteristics, the App presents several possible photographs to compare to the actual flower. Flowers that are more difficult to identify often come with several photographs so that visitors can confidently make an accurate identification.

The App is based on the website "Wildflowers of the Cabrillo National Monument." An easy way to experience the content of the App before deciding to download is to visit the online version at "www.cnmflowers.org". Be sure you are looking at the mobile version of the website as it most closely resembles the content of the App.

The App resides entirely on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, so the content generally loads much more quickly than even the highest connection speed can allow. However, the most significant benefit of the app is that if you are out in remote place without an Internet connection you can still access all of the App’s content. One consideration when downloading the App is that it takes up about 320MB (0.32GB) of the device’s internal storage due to the high number and resolution of the flower photographs.

This app and its sister "SMM Wildflowers" share many of the same plants and hence many of the same pictures. If you like SMM WildFlowers and are looking for plants at Cabrillo National Monument then this is the app for you.
