Plant lineage
Trace parent plants, propagations, sport candidates, and stable cultivar lines without losing the story.
Plant Lineage and Collection Database
A living database for plants with complicated names.
AxilDB tracks plant definitions, collection instances, propagations, blooms, taxonomy uncertainty, aliases, photos, QR tags, and audit history in one self-hosted app.

Built for real collection work
The app is designed around the day-to-day messiness of horticultural records, not just a flat list of names.
Taxonomy confidence
Record accepted names, provisional labels, acquisition names, aliases, sources, and uncertainty.
Bloom history
Log bloom starts, peaks, closures, flower counts, first blooms, notes, and photos over time.
QR plant tags
Generate printable QR labels that link directly to each plant record in the app.
Role-aware access
Let visitors browse, loggers add records, and admins edit, delete, manage users, and review audit logs.
Collection search
Search plants by IDs, cultivars, aliases, old taxonomy, common names, notes, and sources.
From label to lineage
Keep the seller's label, your current interpretation, the evidence, and the propagation history together.
