Are there any apps / websites which identify plants from a photo?

[Aridane]

You know, like that app which identifies music?

Ideally one where you just point your phone at the plant in question.

But, if not, something where you can up.oad a photo and it will tell you what it is?

Not an app, but you could try reverse image search on Google

Yes! I have one called picture this.

I thought it was called the MN Gardening topic?

Try plant snap app. I have it... Haven't tried it yet tho!

What Errol said! More than half the threads are "what plant is this" threads!

Come on, OP, have you got a mystery plant pic?

iNaturalist

Three suggestions - I will give them a go!

Just listening to GQ on R4: apparently there's one called "Plant Identifier" Missed the other one (with botanists) so probably worth listening again!

Garden tags app. Put up a pic and someone will identify it

Well - I've been having fun!

I didn't download the Garden Tags app or the Plant Snap one as you have to pay for them (and I only have one plant to identify)..So I tried the free apps.

iNaturalist tells me it doesn't know!

Picture This gives me three options, one of which does sort of look quite a bit like my plant

Another one says it's not confident enough to make a recommendation but comes up with 10 suggestions.

And iPlant tells me it's a houseplant !

Maybe it's time to head over to the Gardening section of Mumsnet!

We'll move this for you now, OP!

...taps foot while waiting for photo...

Post photos here but please make sure it focuses on the leaves/stem/flowers not behind them.

Ah - started a new thread for that (with satisfactory photos I hope ) and NanTheWiser determines plant’s likely ID.

Responses on the thread were better than the (free) apps ).

Told you so!

Glad your mystery plant has been ID'd - and with a useful discussion too.

You nspired me to try my luck there! Didn't realise there was a Gardening topic - tend just to start threads in Chat

Friendly Gardening group on FB works very well.

I've had really good luck with the Pl@ntNet app so might be worth investigating for next time :) Not sure if its available on iPhone but I use it on Android

Plantsnap is really good!
