I've done some initial investigation into additional datasets that could complement the Trefle service. I came across the WFO Plant List, which provides both a REST API and downloadable datasets. I'm currently exploring whether the datasets are available at this link or at this link.
While I still need to verify the quality and quantity of the data provided, this seems like a promising starting point.
Here are a few thoughts on how we could leverage this resource:
I'll continue to explore these options and I'll update this issue on new findings.
There's also this: https://open.plantbook.io/
I don't think there's an API for it, but https://www.gardenia.net/ has a lot of info for each plant and is very searchable
I use https://powo.science.kew.org/ a lot to understand more about my plants Not sure about APIs, but checklists are downloadable
There's also (with a community aspect):
OpenFarm, https://openfarm.cc/en
GrowStuff, https://www.growstuff.org/
