Description

As a user, I would like to see common name displayed when adding a new plant (getting Trefle suggestion) so I can easily check if it's the plant I had in mind

Solution

This feature would display plant's common name on the card and/or inside the species information (when opening the card) This information comes in "common_name" string from Trefle (if present)

What are alternatives?

Right now I can check the Trefle API/website myself or just google the plant on other resources

Additional context

Here are some mockups how it could look:

Card: card

Information screen: info

That's a great idea thanks! In the next release the page for searching species will be something like this:

So I think common name(s) could be added in a new row right after the scientific name.

I would love to see this as well, my proposal would be common name, followed by scientific name in italics, so something like: Palmer's Sedum Sedum palmeri

I'd love to see those overlayed on top of the plant picture as well, maybe with a black box behind the text to make it more readable. This way it's very clear which picture is of which plant.
