JUst a few notes to help people ID plants

The plant flower is the first step Its symmetry, size, number of parts, and location on the plant.

next, we lok atleaves-- the margins, symmetry, and size, Are tey covered with fuzz? Top and Bottom? The stem?

Is the plant climbing, or prostrate, or standing upright on it's own.

WHERE is the plant growing> What season is it?

MyBotany Pr4of had us get Newcombs Guide to wildflowere, and comparing it to Petersons, yes, a much easier to use tool.

Many Wetland plants, and grasses, have their own guides-- grasses are heck to ID-
