1st question: Open flowers Present? | No: To question 2 | Yes: Move on

2nd question: Flower buds present? (indicating presence of flowers (PPO)) | No: move one | Yes: Move on

Rudbeckia open flowers = On at least 1 flowering head in image, at least 50% of visible ray petals completely unfolded, intact, and non-senesced

Mainthemum open flowers = At least 1 completely unfolded, non-senesced fls flower buds = any stage of the the inflorescence pre-flowering. Fruit doesn't count

maianthemum

kinda hard cause it's rhizomatous. There is no way to indicate if the "full plant" is pictured.

Curled vs fully unfolded leaves might be a good progress indicator.

definitely an opportunity to score things like leaf unfolding, buds, buds extended, fls, expanded ovaries, fruit, ripe fruit, empty raceme, etc.

chance to take biology into account. ie fls on bottom of infl open (early) or top of infl (later)

some issues w/ blurry photos when flowers/seneseced flowers are present

photos of note 13826817 - an almost empty raceme with a few fruit left 17913094 - open fl with a bee on it 25559183 - flowers aaalllmost fully open 19068752, 20333650 - potential fl with enlarged ovary 21994422, 26598712 - definitely has fl with enlarged ovary

Rudbeckia

definitely bias toward flowering

sometimes can see the disc fl stamens/petals

impossible to observe fruit

Ideally for scoring we could measure viability of disc fls, but outward appearance especially beyond a few meters, makes it mostly impossible. The visibility of stamens could potentially be used... [echinacea paper]

11638243, 12612264 - nice examples of disc fls being visible and open, and their progression 11856813 - fl head potentially in fruit and all disc fls senesced (or disc fls not even blooming yet, but whats the green thing?), but ray fls still out and showy 13166104 - sensesced/eaten ray petals 13276485 - probably in fruit, but ray petals still showy 13723504 - rays out but not 100% unfoled 13849805 - very eaten ray petals, discs all potentially fruiting 13893155 - completely senesced ray petals 15268943 - mostly senesced rays 29850511 - very much all senesced 3626818 - many heads w/ some very much senesced, and others just about to open

insects in photos 11891577 - skeeter feeding on fls 11960028 - bee on fl 13815199 - bee 12310548 - bee & spider on fl 14753857 - moth 24845010 - moth

from 2019-08-02 thru 2019-09-16 there are this many research grad iNat obs: 965 R. hirta 296 M. canadense

For R. hirta the peak every year is July, w/ Aug about half as much, and Sep. approaching ~200 obs
