Well, I don’t normally use the Compare tool but I opened it on a couple of observations and I didn’t see an option to set the CV recommendation to “Seen Nearby.”

You can change the source in regards to visually similar there. The dropdown below lets you pick different locations, from county to country or clear the location filter entirely. So there’s decent “grain” to the controls that you have there.

My perspective on this as a pollinator gardener and obsessive iNat user is that landscape plants have 2 reasons to record. First, they are a huge part of the biomass in developed areas. For example, I have 186 cultivated plant species on my yard list. Second, phenology tracking is fun! Check out the 17 observations of Utah serviceberry from my garden in different stages in different years https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?geoprivacy=obscured&place_id=9&taxon_id=49230&user_id=egordon88&verifiable=any
I have 470 captive plant observations out of 7,060 total uploads from my home & garden = 6.7%. Maybe that’s a little high, but I think my donations and IDs for iNat offset the impact

Most people live in cities. Most of the biomass they see is cultivated plants.
(On the animal side more biomass is what is farmed for human food, than wild and free animals)
Thank you for your IDs!

I have started marking the cultivated and adding them to an existing project. I just wanted to get a consensus on the proper/acceptable way to do it! Thanks for your input!
