How it all started -
From 2011 to 2014, I
collected photos and wrote illustrated plant lists for Marin County, where
I live. I wanted to make it easy for
you to find a plant, given a specific location or topic, by
·
Limiting
the size of the list you had to choose from, and
·
Offering
lots of photos to help you choose your plant.
·
Attaching
captions to photos to add meaning.
This
worked well, but it took too much work to put together each illustrated
list.
Since
2014, I’ve been working on a
database approach that will allow hundreds of photographers and authors to
submit photographs and put together illustrated plant lists, to cover all
of California.
To the
right are the original articles, which you’ll find very useful if you
happen to live in Marin County.

a link to the current database version of PlantID.net.
