Wildflowers do Monumento Nacional Cabrillo

The National Park Service invites you to take along a virtual botanist the next time you visit the Cabrillo National Monument. With almost 350 plants and 2500 photos, this App offers both novice and advanced wildflower enthusiasts the opportunity to identify common and rare plants while exploring remote areas of the Cabrillo National Monument.

Visitors can choose several basic flower characteristics on the App’s interface like color, size and shape. Based on those characteristics, the App presents several possible photographs to compare to the actual flower. Flowers that are more difficult to identify often come with several photographs so that visitors can confidently make an identification.

The App is based off of the website “Wildflowers of the Cabrillo National Monument” An easy way to experience the content of the App before deciding to download is to visit the online version at http://www.cnmflowers.org/mobile

The App resides entirely on your device, so the content generally loads more quickly than even the highest speed connection allows. An important benefit of this is that if you are out in remote places without a cell signal, you can still access all of the App’s content. One consideration when downloading the App is that it is large and takes up about 200MB of the device’s storage. This is due to the large number of included photographs.

About a 200MB download.
