Bloom Clock/Welcome

Welcome to the Bloom Clock, Wikiversity's oldest research project! The Bloom Clock serves 3 related functions:


 * 1) Developing a database of when plants bloom in any given geographical region.
 * 2) Helping to teach users about plants, by allowing them to visually identify flowers they saw blooming on a given day
 * 3) Serving as an organizing point for the improvement of wikimedia content (Wikipedia articles, Wiktionary definitions, Commons galleries, Wikibooks chapters, etc.)

How to participate
There are a number of ways to participate, appropriate for all knowledge levels regarding both plants and the use of wikis.


 * 1) Users with little knowledge about plants (or even users who know a lot about them, but don't know every plant) can browse by color, form, and season using the ../Keys/. If the plant you saw isn't on the appropriate list (and you have a photo), try using the ../Unknown plants/ page.
 * 2) Users with a solid knowledge of plants can help identify images on the ../Unknown plants/ page, and log plants they've seen blooming either on the ../Log pages/ or the text list for the current clock run.
 * 3) Users with wiki-editing skills can help create ../Log pages/ and keep the ../Keys/ up-to-date.
