Wildflower checklist or journal?

Is this what you are looking for?

Might you be thinking of the Peterson field guides?

More like this.

It has each bird with a place to note when and where you saw a bird.

So I was looking for something similar for wildflowers.

How about a notebook and a pencil???

Yes, that is one suggestion that I even brought up in my original post.

But, if you have pages and pages of notes on birds or flowers or whatever you saw, it can be difficult to find a note on when you last saw something or even if you did.

People use these pre-printed books because it can be easy to look something up. Wondered when you last saw a particular orchid? Flip through to the orchids and there on one of the 4-5 lines that were provided next to each flower is when and where you saw it.

After 10 years, you'll need a whole day just to read through all your handwritten notes if you just kept a journal.

Nothing wrong with journals. I keep some but keeping track of some things is much easier now with some of these books and computer programs that are available.
