MBP - Support added for new and updated iNat annotations

iNaturalist recently added some new annotations related to plant phenology. You can now annotate vascular plants to indicate leaf buds, green leaves, colored leaves, and more. They also changed the names of some familiar tags for simplicity (e.g., Flowering > Flowers).

Maryland Biodiversity Project has added support for these changes. We archive and display these annotations from observations ingested from iNaturalist. iNat remains the best way to contribute data to MBP.
