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.
