User reviews

Great app by OSU

I use this app frequently both for identifying plants in the wild and for garden planning. My one suggestion is that they switch the iNaturalist integration to their updated app.

We use it on every hike

The Oregon Wildflowers app has been both educational and a lot of fun. We use it on every hike here in Oregon. The results from filtering are almost always on target, sometimes even without flowers! We use the helpful photos and range map (where the species has been recorded) to confirm tentative IDs. Plus the app supports the fabulous Oregon Flora Project. (BTW, I'm a professional botanist, like another reviewer, but I think this app is a gem.)

Advanced ID capability

My favorite thing about apps like this is the use of multi trait databases instead of the old binary keys. Much more success at identifying flowers. Also excellent photos.

Another super High Country

Have been using High Country flower apps for some time and when Oregon came out, I had to grab it. I used to live in the Portland area, but now I’m a hop skip and a jump from Eastern Oregon which has very, very different flora. Easy to have with me if I’m just out and about and spot something interesting. Don’t have to try to remember what it looked like until I get home and grab a guide book.

Best flower identifier

Lots of good pictures at different angles, easy to narrow searches by region, flower family, color, petal type, leaf type, and more!
