Today I'm walking around my property and labeling interesting plants that I identify with the Seek app.
So far I've found:
58 species of plants
5 species of insects
3 reptiles
2 arachnids
And 1 fungus
I need to come up with a more permanent labeling system, but for now masking tape and a sharpie will do.

I've started to do this as well. It has been interesting identifying "weeds".
I really need to spend some time doing this. Since I'm slowly working on converting a wooded area to silvopasture I need to identify what to keep and what to get rid of.
With the Seek app you can copy the Latin name. Then I like to use the Plants for a Future (PFAF) database to learn about what I've found.
The PFAF site is pretty awesome.
I've been trying to find a decent plant identification app for ages, the main problem being they either want a ridiculous amount of money as a monthly subscription or they're no good in the southern hemisphere.
I see from the app description that it is "a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society"
So hopefully it is not totally profit oriented. I will give it a try. Thanks!

How do you get the animals to stay still for that? #grownostr
