Where are all the plant lovers?

There are resources like this that can help up your chances of an ID: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/presentation-how-to-photograph-plants-and-more-by-lena-struwe-and-peter-nitzsche/15143

On the other hand, you can go a long while with no IDs and suddenly get a flurry of attention and sometimes stuff you figure is going to take a while gets done immediately. I spent a couple of weeks on the south coast of Cuba and posted a bunch of plant observations that I expected to languish in the Needs ID pile. It turns out a Puerto Rican botanist is making an organized effort to ID Caribbean plant observations and quickly IDed many of them (and offered some explanation). Go figure.
