The standalone version of the Wildflower Finder worked fine for me. I had been trying to identify Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) for months, spending hours searching photos on the internet. I was all set to take a 35 mile drive to the Cornell Cooperative Extension for a plant ID, when I took 1 more shot at it, and found your site.

Turns out, while I was planning to cultivate this colorful plant around my property, everyone else in the known universe is trying to kill it! Apparently, Purple Loosestrife is an invasive and competitive destroyer of wetlands, and is unavailing to native wildlife!

Guess that’s the end of THAT project. Saved in a nick of time. Thanks!

The website has this message posted:

SORRY!
I’ve switched to a new ISP and now my Perl script does not work on the new system – foo. I’m working to figure out the problem.

And if you try it anyway, you get the error MikeB posted. Looks like they haven’t figured it out yet…

I tried the website twice; this si what I got:

Not Found
The requested URL /domaincgi/flowers.cgi was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

OOOoops…

[...] today while I was down there, and using the online wildflower identification key that Jennifer at A Passion For Nature posted about recently, I attempted to figure out what they were. Although my assessment of the size of the flowers was [...]

Thanks for the link, Jennifer. I bookmarked the one for the West. It leads you to photos categorized by color. So that would be quite a few photos to go through, but it’s still helpful.

Thanks for the link. I find it much easier to use the bird guide than the wildflower guide I have.

This tool is really cool! Thank you very much for sharing it. Sometimes I make pictures of the unknown flowers and have no idea how to search for their names. Now this problem seems to be solved.
