You can also find plants using tags as search criteria or filters. Type a tag or "keyword" into the Search box. As you type, plant names are listed first, but scroll to the end of the plant names to see the tags that match your search
For example, as you type "butterfly" into the search box, a long list of plants that are tagged with butterfly-related tags appears in the drop-down menu.
Go to the end of the end of the drop-down menu to see butterfly-related tags.
Plants are tagged to make them searchable. Here are some tags from Cosmos bipinnatus:
If you click on one, you will be shown all the plants that have that tag. For example, clicking on the #butterfly tag (the last tag shown in the example above) shows all the plants that are tagged #butterfly (plants attractive to butterflies).
As shown in the page view below, the #butterfly tag filter is displayed in the upper left (red circle, below)
