How to use this page

I work on a native plant farm, and I want to be better at knowing what all the names of the plants we care for are. The most important [and difficult!] piece of knowledge for me is the scientific name, so I made these flash cards to help me study! If you care to test your native plant knowledge, please feel free to click around and let me know how you did!

Click on each card to reveal the answer. Images are indeed cards! :)
