Plant finder and houseplant tracker

A plant reference seeded from the USDA PLANTS Database: every accepted plant of the United States and its territories with its PLANTS symbol, scientific name, common name and family, the 44,000 older names that point to it, and the characteristic values PLANTS records (growth habit, duration, nativity, flower colour, shade and drought tolerance, height at maturity and more). A My plants table, empty to start, tracks the plants you own: where each one lives, its light, and when it was last watered and fed. Each plant links to its PLANTS profile for maps and photos.
