How I did it: Several years we got into the habit of buying the Audobon field guides for regions of the U.S. we travel too, and where we live. These books contain not just birds, but trees, flowers, mammals, fish, and so much more, including info on climate and geography, etc. They are very good for the beginner, or for someone new to an area. For instance I would not have known what a magpie was if not for my trusty book, having never seen on growing up in TN.
We always use ours to ID local flowers when hiking in spring, and the birds we see. We keep a highlighter so we can mark what we have seen before, and slowly we have learned many thing.
You will never know it all, but It does pay to get a book for the region where you are, and pay closer attention. We are now looking for more specific books on plants, bugs, and birds from our region so we can continue to learn more.
Lessons & tips: Some plants, like a yellow slipper, you will absolutely know, but some plants, like an anemone (not the sea creature) are just 1 of several similar species, you would need a very detail guide to know the difference, so sometimes, just satisfy yourself with knowing what it might be.

Today I have discovered what plants are those I meet every day in the bicycle lane when commuting to my workplace.
They are wonderful: tall, nice, with five petal yellow flowers. They suddenly seemed to come into existence last month (however, apparently they have been there for one year so far), and the landscape has got a nice summery yellow hue.

It’s really beautiful. There isn’t a whole lot of flowers in bloom at this time of year, but I will definitely be heading back in April to see what’s happening then.

I went on a nature walk with my mom this evening and it helped me identify a few more plants and flowers around the neighborhood :]
this picture above is a “Cycas revoluta (Sago Cycad), is a cycad native to southern Japan. Though often known by the common name of King Sago Palm, or just Sago Palm, it is not a palm at all, but a type of gymnosperm.”

I took this picture in my grandmothers yard. She is very wise when it comes to flowers and plants. She told me it was an Amaryllis but after lookin it up i found out that
“Amaryllis is a monotypic (only one species) genus of plant. The single species, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa. It is often confused with the Hippeastrum, “
so these flowers are actually Hippeastrum
