Description

The Minnesota Wildflowers Info. app was developed to serve as a convenient offline complement to MinnesotaWildflowers.info, ensuring that you can access the information even in areas with limited or no internet connectivity. The app has profiles for 1,814 plants with over 16,000 images covering: •114 Aquatics •76 Ferns & Fern Allies •1134 Forbs •154 Grasses •24 Rushes •207 Sedges •169 Shrubs •98 Trees Each profile contains a detailed description with insight into how species are distinguished from similar species, a distribution map for Minnesota, a table of traits and general info, and images. A complete list of plants that are known to occur in MN is also included. A user-friendly, multi-access key assists with plant identification. As traits are selected in the multi-access key, plants that do not have the trait are eliminated, and traits that do not serve to narrow the results are grayed out. As an additional feature to assist with plant identification, two plant profiles can be compared at once, side-by-side, by turning on the “Comparison View” setting within the app. All questions and feedback can be sent to: [email protected].

  • Amazing and rich resource that could use some QOL upgrades

    I use this app daily, but could improve in a few regards: -A “favorites” button would be great -Clickable family/genus to follow back up the taxonomy would be great -in the advanced search, closing the selection “flower color” for example, after selecting it.
  • Amazing

    Love this app-work in a public garden and reference this and the website often. The only thing I wish it had was a way to favorite plants so I have a custom list to reference.
  • Best app for beginning botanists

    Like so many, I have been deeply moved by the inspirational call to action expressed in Douglas Tallamy’s books. This app and website have served as a treasure trove of information in my journey to learn about MN’s native plants for my own personal growth as well as for landscaping purposes. So much love and hard work has been invested in this tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

    Love this app! It’s so essential as I’m working hard to transform my landscape to locally native plants. The information is both robust and easy to digest. One wish list item to make this app perfection - if there was a way to “save” specific plants to a list of some sort that the user could refer back to, like an Amazon shopping cart, that would be HEAVEN!
  • Love this app

    I use it all the time. Well organized. Can use it in the garden as well as in the field -away from WiFi or cell data. ONLY complaint is that it must be updated to make use of Dark Mode. The text is too pale to see on the info pages when my phone switches to dark mode. Please Fix! UPDATE: quick response from developer! Well done. I will see how it looks tonight when dark mode kicks on.
  • One of the best apps I’ve purchased!

    This is a great app for anyone who loves to learn about the local Minnesota plant life that surrounds them. I absolutely love it. The app has grown my interest and knowledge of local Forbes and grasses. There are great photos and excellent descriptions of many species. I pair this with my iNaturalist app and it really is a great help!!!
  • Fast, amazing-best app ever

    As an avid user of iNaturalist, I found myself going to the Minnesota wildflower website often. That information is amazingly all on this app, which works lightning fast. No more waiting for a page to load to get the awesome tips and tricks for a solid id. Bonus is the thorough discussions of sub species. Hats off to the creators of the website and app
  • Excellent App

    A great resource. Clear technical descriptions in accessible format, good level of local detail. Use it in conjunction with a photo identifier app, such iNaturalist or Picture This, and you will have all you need in the field.
