This week's Plant Hunt is result of a migraine a few weeks ago. I was browsing Western Australia on iNaturalist while taking it easy, and was struck by how many amazing photos there were. So for one of the beta tests, I selected enough photos for two hunts. Because I selected photos based on whether or not they looked pretty, I wasn't thinking at all about writing the descriptions. You'll see below that there's a lot of information for some plants. For others... not so much.

How to Play

Plant Hunt is a game of memory. The goal is to match all the cards in the shortest number of time and attempts. You uncover cards in pairs, by clicking or tapping the back of them. If the cards match, you'll see them in large form, and they'll stay face up. Once you get them all, you'll get a time and move count. If you like you can share this with others, or be sneaky and try again. Though you might find your memory playing tricks, the more attempts you make.

If you want more information about the plants, you'll find it below the playing area.
