It seems that, over time, quite a number of people came to the original plant sign design and ran through the customizer to create a sign for one reason or another; not always plant signs, and even a bookmark remix. Each time I get a notification of a remix, I feel a little bad that I didn't set the initial parameters a little differently. It seems clear that the most common remix doesn't alter the overall thickness and the end result is somewhat fragile.
Many of my prints of the original design were broken by a misplaced foot and I realised that, with the best will in the world, these things will get trodden on, and so I ended up making a simpler chunkier deisgn which I've now printed hundreds of and which, despite the promise that PLA is biodegradeable, have stood up to both the elements and a many a misplaced foot.
With strength of the final print in mind then, I'm uploading this slight rework so that any derivatives from here will most likely produce a robust end result. The only thing you'll typically need to tweak should be the actual text, and the width of the sign in order to accommodate the text.
I've included many English (well some Latin) plant names here ready to go in case you want to get started quickly.
