Can you mark plants as "Not Established"?

So, I found a random tulip:

Not in a garden, or even near one, just randomly growing on a trail. Never seen that before in my area. I was thinking that it would make sense to mark it as “Not Established” like you can for animals, but I didn’t see that option on the annotations.

Is that something you can do? This random tulip was not cultivated by me, and doesn’t seem obviously planted, so I’m not confident on how it got there, but it’s there, first time I’ve ever seen one floating in the wild in my area.

The annotation is only available for reptile and amphibian observations - see https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000191830-what-are-the-definitions-of-inaturalist-annotations-#Established-(within-Reptilia,-Amphibia) and blog post https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/91460-piloting-an-establishment-annotation-with-amphibians-and-reptiles

There are a number of projects for escaped garden plants; you might see whether there is one for your area that you can add it to.

Hmmm… ok, can you link me?

I didn’t link because there are multiple projects with different regional or taxonomic focuses, so you will probably wish to choose yourself which one you prefer; I am not interested in highlighting any particular project, merely noting that there are projects being used to collect such observations and thus make information about non-established plants available for research.

You can do a search for “escapee” or similar on the projects page and it should give you numerous results.
