Once the Flora of Virginia is published, the work of the Flora Project will adjust course and continue full steam ahead, in a number of areas.
Education
Creation of teaching and learning modules using the Flora will teach students the value of the book and how to use it,
as well as improve plant-identification 
skills and allow contact with educators regarding these activities.
Illustrations
Additional line drawings of Virginia plants will be published on the Flora Project website.
Shown here is Impatiens pallida.
Atlas images
The Flora Project will continue its effort to illustrate the species pages of the Digital Atlas of the Virginia Flora.
Interactivity with Flora users Eventually this website will have an area for registered members
that will allow Flora users to interact with Flora experts, ask questions, make suggestions, and point out problems or errors in the Flora.
Electronic second edition
The Flora will have a useful life of some 50 years, but a
second edition is expected by 2020 or so. A digital version, accessible in the field via a handheld device, is envisioned because this technology is becoming
increasingly sophisticated and available.
