Thanks Satdeep for sharing this with us.
Varinder, congratulations for starting this project - sounds quite
interesting. Just wanted to pick your brain if you have considered using an
intermediary app like iNaturalist (
https://www.inaturalist.org) which has a
community of its own and helps identify the species. For someone who is a
beginner might find it useful. The good thing is iNaturalist supports CC
licenses and the community is quite active so transferring pictures might
not be an issue. I got introduced to it in a National Geographic workshop
in Hong Kong and got hooked for sometime. Once again, thank you for
starting this project. Will try to explore some wild flowers around my
place and contribute too and of course, will spread the word. :-)

Hi everyone,
I am excited to share with all of you that User:Varinder Naturaphile
previously known as User:ਵਰਿੰਦਰ ਸ਼ਰਮਾ has officially launched Wiki Loves
Wild Flowers today, 22 May 2019 which is the International Day for
Biological Diversity.[1]
Varinder is a member of the Faridkot District Biodiversity Committee and
a Coordinator for documentation of flora and fauna. I am glad that his
expertise will help in including quality content on our platforms. This
will range from adding images to Commons to add local names in Wikidata and
possibly create new Wikipedia articles.
Over the next few months, he will be working on the initial list of 124
different species of wild flowers found in the Punjab region as a pilot.
Your feedback will be deeply appreciated.
