Subject: [NatureNS] Plant and flower id apps or online guides?

I am trying to id  certain flowers on my property but am having a difficult=
 time due in large part due to my lack of experience but also due to limita=
tions in my flower id guides. I suspect some may be non-native/ alien  plan=
ts which sometimes makes the search more difficult .

I often use Bugguide.net to id insects - is there something similar online =
for plants,particularly flowers - or maybe someone has had success with an =
app?

Thanks, Ron Wilson
