Yes I think that is the greater mission of all of the regional (flower) missions when taken together. :-)

I guess I misunderstood the mission statement, which says they want to build a photo collection of flowers from around the world.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that a spotting needs to be within the range for geographically based missions. So while a plant mightt have originated in Oceania, it needs to be spotted in Oceania to be a part of the mission. Cheers
