Fantastic. I can't wait to see a whole forest of crowdsourced algorithmic plants. Is this connected to any scientific projects? A cool feature would be an AI botanist that tells you how likely your plant would survive, what's the closest taxonomic reference, a nice recipe to go along with boiled rice,...

One of my ideas is to build a virtual garden where your plants can grow and you have to take care of them tamagotchi style :)

Not connected to any scientific projects, just a nerd that likes plants. But projects can have a gbif.org id and then some extra information is loaded through the gbif api :)
