Invasive Species! Invasive Species!This was recommended at a native plant class as a great native wildflower app for Yellowstone & Grand Teton, but after opening it and seeing the array of non-native invasive species listed as "wildflowers" I can't say I would recommend this to anyone without some major edits being made so that it is clear to the user these are NOT native and in fact are invasive. Many of the species that are invasive to the Greater Yellowstone Area, and listed as noxious in all surrounding states, don't even have any info indicating that they are NOT wildflowers but in fact detrimental to the Region. Here are a few species that need some kind of Alert at the very top to indicate they are NOT wildflowers... (Common St Johnswort, Common Tansy, Butter And Eggs, Dalmatian toadflax, Spotted knapweed, Canada thistle). There are probably more within the app, but frankly I was too disgusted to keep looking through it after viewing these species when I first opened it. It's too bad because this has the potential to be a really great resource for native wildflowers but without some sort of fix to make sure they aren't misleading the public into thinking that invasive species are wildflowers, then this app is a huge fail.

Wonderful app! Wonderful app!Very easy to use and want assure all that this app has a much broader geographic range than just Yellowstone and grand Teton. I know someone using it clear in Washington, and certainly good for all in the rocky mountain region!

Access to western wildflowers has never been easier Access to western wildflowers has never been easierThis is one of the best and most user-friendly wildflower applications around. The organization, scientific data, and photographs are excellent, and taken directly from the many books written by Dr. Richard J. Shaw, Professor of Botany and Director of the Intermountain Herbarium at Utah State University. Starting in 1950, Dr. Shaw was a seasonal park naturalist at Grand Teton National Park, and all the photos in this application are part of the thousands of images Shaw and his wife Marion took on their botanical collecting tours throughout the American West. Many of the wildflowers contained within can be found throughout the American West, so this application has a much broader appeal to both botanists and general users.
