      I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before - but may as well say again.

      There is a free android app called 'PlantNet' - you take a photo of the leaf or flower - the app goes off and compares your photo with those on it's database - coming back with the name of the plant. I've used it a couple of times and it's been spot on.

        I have it ... and to me it is hit and miss. I think because 1) it is American, and 2) most of my plants are unique.

          I have it too and find it a bit ' iffy' and
          my plants aren't unique. I test it out purposely and it seems most of the time it's wrong. !!

            I've used plant net.
            It seems to ask you to say if it's right or wrong at the end.
            It's a bit like Google images, it depends on the person to make the decision from the suggestions.

              Thanks all. I don't use an app but post pictures directly onto the internet from my desktop which then gives me a possible match.

                    I can never remember how to take screen shots but I'm willing to take pics with my camera to show you where to find it. :)
