An orchid tracking system . . .

If you are a Mac/iPhone/iPad user and have a little computer capability, there is an option that can let you customize what you track. I used Excel for a few years and find this next option better. I have no relationship with any product.

Bento is a fairly cheap, simplified database app made by the Apple-affiliated company that makes the big Filemaker database. Bento has a version for a desktop/laptop Mac, iPhone, and iPad AND these communicate through your wireless network.

It is pretty easy to create the design for your record. It is easy to have a field in which to insert a photo.

I use my iPhone or iPad in my growing room to update things right away and I can then sync the other devices to the new information. When I am then off someplace else, like Orchids Limited, I can pull up any plant on my iPhone, including its picture. You can also sort your records in various ways.

I like that I can customize the record to what I care about. I can also modify the record at any time, deleting or adding fields.
