Botany in a Day Tutorial (46 mins) The Patterns Method of Plant Identification

www.hopspress.com
Looking for a faster, easier, and engaging way to identify plants? Related plants have similar characteristics, and they often have similar uses. Rather than learning new plants one-at-a-time, it is possible to learn them by the hundreds, based on plant family patterns.
Each family of related plants has unique patterns for identification. Learn to recognize these patterns, and discover them again and again in the plants you encounter. It is possible to instantly recognize a plant never before seen, and in many cases, to know its edible or medicinal properties on the spot-even before you have identified it down to the species!

OMG!! I loved this video. When you first opened the book while sitting in front of the brick wall it reminded me of the school in the village i attended in Kenya. We used to learn about plants in this way, the teacher would take the whole class outside to look at the plants. Not to mention it's a coffee and substance farming region so listening to you talk about the plants i grew up with in a scientific way is almost tear jerking. Kids in developed countries miss so much of life! side note, I finally got some bougainvilleas, two of them, I hope they survive my patio tonight(freezing temps)... never thought that would be a problem in Texas. Excellent video.

[@OfftoShambala]

FYI… I live in the phx arizona desert… in the ground, bougs get freeze damage above, but you just cut it off and after feb 15, it takes a few months for it to look like nothing ever happened… keep the roots in your pot warm… but if the plant is located near the house, it should be fine when there is a freeze… we get an average of ten freezes or frosts every year at night… usually plants like Lantana and boug can also be covered w a cloth on those nights to mitigate top leaf damage. It’s been said that the cloth should not touch the leaves, but it def works ok enough most of the time. Hope your bougs are ok! And yes it’s very sad that the kids in the western world, and most indians and Asians… are super unaware of the plant world. They are absolutely clueless about the natural world.

Very helpful, very encouraging. For non botanists, the complexities of flower identification especially edible wild plants seems overwhelming. Like so many challenges in life, breaking them into recognizable patterns/groups makes learning manageable. Making a good video, requires lots of preparation of graphics, and subject matter arrangement, lighting, careful sound recording, and camera direction. "It is tough!" "I know" This was a great video that could be a lot better if the camera stayed focused "closely" on each picture for a "pregnant moment". I say that because it sends a signal to the viewer. This image is important to observe closely. Each time a critical leap of new information comes along it's important to define it carefully distinctly to isolate the new concept. The card games are a great tool. Please do more. Millions of us crave new understanding. life only has so many days to take it all in. We need your help. Thanks.

I have ordered all the books and games in a package deal.. thank you!! I can’t tell you how helpful the “botany in a day” book has been for my husband and I. We recently bought land and have been able to identify so many plants using the technique taught in the book.
