Apps to identify plants with just a photo, and other sites for garden lovers

Spring is coming, the garden greens and new technologies provide an extra comfort to satisfy our curiosity as amateur botanists.

"What are you doing?", "I'm taking a picture of your plant", "Did you see how cute?", "Yes, but I also want to know what species it is." Gardening is booming, and it's not just a grandmother's business. This new millennial passion that fills balconies with cacti and succulents, cultivates aromatics and has the desire to create a garden at home, is interested in green culture combined with  high tech .

The heat peeks out, the garden blooms and, with just one click, the scan reveals more about the history of that plant we are observing.

PlantNet
It is the most famous of all. The application originated in France, where a group of researchers put themselves on their shoulders the task of creating a great "Botanical Shazam", a world garden, a virtual library of plants that, in a collaborative way among all users, could gather species and typologies from around the world. For now it has a base of approximately 4,000, many of them belonging to the Northern Hemisphere. By simply taking a photo of the flower and the leaf, and uploading it to the app, we obtain the result: botanical name and basic data.

If you correctly identify a species, you can participate in this project by transmitting your observation with the "contribution" button. The contributions are and are validated and moderated in collaboration.

iKnow Trees
You are walking through a forest, you do not know what species you have around you, there is no guide. This app works similar to PlantNet, only for trees. The platform will lead you to identify the type of leaf and other aspects such as size, color, fruits, etc. There is very good information (with extensive descriptions) on 100 species and a game that challenges your knowledge on the subject.

Garden Answers
It has been running since 2003. It is an application similar to the previous ones, with the disadvantage that it is only in English, but with the advantage that it has a base of almost 20,000 plants. It also reports on possible diseases and infections in them and was created by horticultural specialists.

Other sites of interest
Although they are not as innovative as these apps, there are sites that are very useful to answer specific questions. Once we recognize the species, how do we care for it? Plants is a very active Facebook community of almost 200,000 members from all over Latin America who share information, ask questions ("How do you take care of a Chinese Rose?", "What fast-growing trees can you plant?") And upload photos from their own gardens.

The Consult Plants website  has loaded more than 1,300 detailed information sheets on the type of climate, soil and irrigation that each species allows and the types of diseases it can suffer. Very useful!

The Plants and Flowers  and Botanicalpickmeup instagrams  are about ornamental design, indoor or outdoor plants. They are focused on decoration and design of environments. Essential if you want to turn your house into a very cool jungle.

Plant identification

How to start
Begin by selecting one of the four main categories of plant characteristics. When you click on a category icon, a group of symbols from the second level will appear. By selecting one of them, you will get another group of icons on the third level. When you click on one of these, a list of plant names and pictures of plants that have this characteristic will appear. The more third-level selections in different categories you make, the fewer possible plants will remain on your list.

On the other hand, if you select more than one option from the same category on the third level, more plants will appear in your list.

For example: If you select blue for plant color you will get 65 species. Selecting blue and red gives 175 species. Selecting blue and radial corolla shape gives 32 species. Selecting blue, radial, and 5 petals gives 11.

If you want to remove any of the features you selected, simply click again on the corresponding icon on the third level, or on the description of the relevant feature written above the plant images.

Click the green help buttons next to each feature category to view feature explanations and sample illustrations.

The first-level feature categories are:

• 1. Geographical location of the place where you found the plant; flowering period; terrain characteristics.
• 2. Characteristics of the flower and inflorescence.
• 3. Characteristics of the leaves / leaflets.
• 4. Other characteristics that aid identification, including height, hairiness, chlorophyll deficiency.
