Native Plants
Seedling Recognition Project
The Seedling Recognition Project was carried out at the Wildflower Center between 1985 and 1989 in an effort to photo document the different growth stages (cradle to grave) of wildflower species commonly found in mail order seed packets. About 100 species were tracked, about 75% of which were native to the U.S. Aerial and side views of the plants were taken at the first true leaves stage, mid-growth, and flowering stage.
