best resources for learning how to connect each plant to the bigger picture? ie: related characteristics within plant families and taxonomy

so i have a biology degree and am very interested in becoming a plant ecologist or botanist. i’ve worked at a state marsh and a national park doing habitat restoration centered around invasive plant management for the past couple years.

i am good at plant ID when im able to review characteristics before going into the field. but i cant help shake the feeling that everyone knows more than me and has deeper knowledge.

how do you guys connect everything you’ve learned to larger plant families and taxonomy? do i just have to stare at inaturalist for several hours of the day? am i not nerdy enough? i feel like a lot of people can come up shooting with so much knowledge about x plant within a larger family and other properties about it.

i’m a visual learner that does well with videos and images. i also like getting taught, rather than having to teach myself. should i treat this like college work and basically study and write things down?
