Best MN plant ID app and it’s not even close

Could use some improvements in UX but the information is impeccable

The definitive Minnesota plant ID

If you have a Phone app that tries to ID your plant you need to cross reference your results on Minnesota Wildfowers. There you will learn what you truly have or do not have. It is THE very best reference for plant ID. I work in habitat restoration and MWI is excellent at splitting look alike plants apart in the notes section, where a quick click will let you look at the alternative(s). I use it to train my seasonal technicians. It lessons their weed pulling toil misery. Thank you Katy!
