In a similar vein to the collaboration that naturally evolved between artists and scientists, Cortada facilitated the creation of one between historian and student. Through the involvement of a team of state historians operating under guidelines set out by the artist, the creation of a list of 500 significant individuals to the history of Florida was formed. While there remained an influence of Cortada from its inception, this list of 500 was designed to be as unbiased as possible (from the perspective of the artist), the artist having no involvement in its creation beyond the presentation of its initial parameters. The names of these important individuals were then used in naming wildflower gardens planted by individual FLOR500 participants as well as those organized through universities, schools and libraries across the state.
