I couldn't see any way for me to specify my location, to ensure I could actually buy the plants.

Upon clicking one of the plants, I see it was only American sites.

I get that this is just a hobby for the moment, but even if there was just a note somewhere, "USA only", that would have been appreciated.

It still irks me how Americans tend to treat the other 96% of the world as though we don't even exist on the same planet; that we're some sort of exotic tourist destination, or a spawn point for immigrants.

To be fair to OP, this is a work in progress and it seems reasonable that they have not yet internationalized it. The plants are listed with their binomial names front and centre rather than localized names, but the prices are in $, there is no flag or currency symbol at top right and its a .com domain.

Parochialism isn't the preserve of the US although I still chuckle at being congratulated on my command of English by a shop assistant in Naples (Florida). I just thanked them rather than pointing out that I am ... actually ... English!

Naples in a nutshell. This story made my day.

My partner worked in Harrods and had people (mostly Americans) all the time asking the shop staff if they spoke English.

Thanks for the feedback - sharing this project has really opened my eyes to my own bias there. Still thinking through how to best expand the site to other countries but in the meantime I'll make sure to mention that the site is US-centric when I share it going forward.
