01. Establishing a reference
Botanical notes describe the shapes, textures and seasonal changes visible in plants. Leaf arrangement is a useful feature to record. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.

02. Describing the setup
Flowers and fruits may appear at different times of year. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.
