Keep a removable field note
Write on one large card and use a botanical pocket as its holder. P01 and P02 use BG05-a as the intended insert; compare the dimensions and keep the top accessible when arranging your page.
Caption a collection of small memories
Use the small cards for individual observations and the strips for dates or places. You can glue them directly onto a page without making a folded structure.
Choose a card before cutting
The large cards, small cards and strips serve different purposes. Check the dimensions beside each preview, then cut its outside rectangle. All pieces print at the same physical size in the A4 and Letter versions.

Which cards have writing lines?
The cream Field Notes card and the two lower small cards are ruled. The pale green large card and the two upper small cards have open writing areas.
Will every card fit every pocket?
No. The two large cards are the intended inserts for the botanical pocket projects. A pocket’s outside width is not its internal clearance; use the fold and fit notes on the pocket page before pairing pieces.
File notes
AI-assisted illustrations; text, linework and millimetre layout are controlled separately. The previews are rendered from the PDF.
Revision r0.9: Component IDs moved into trim waste. Artwork, writable areas and cut/fold/glue geometry preserved; physical checks pending. Physical evidence is still pending for this revision.
