I am looking to get some advice for the structure of a website I am building. (I haven't worked on theming yet so it is not as pretty as it will hopefully be later.)
http://desertwildflower.com
This will be a resource for general desert wildflower species identification and related information as well as for people who want to travel to desert locations to see them. So where the flowers are blooming (national parks, state parks, etc.), when they bloom, and what species are blooming are all important.
Please note there is limited content for now. I'm trying to avoid having to re-enter all of the information if my structure is incorrect.
Basically my confusion is what should be classified as taxonomy vs. custom content types.
I am building this site in D7. (I've been learning D6 off and on for about a year, but I chose to develop in D7 to get experience with it and because the new features totally rock. I find it much easier to understand and to find what I'm looking for. That being said, I'm still learning.)
I have 2 custom content types:
1) Flowers - fields are blooming months, desert (Mojave, Sonoran, etc.) elevation, soil type, height, etc.
