Plant identification FAQ
Can I identify a plant from one photo?
Often, but leaves, flowers, stems, and overall growth form together produce a stronger result than a single close-up.
Does this tell me whether a plant is edible?
No. Photo identification can be uncertain and must never be used to decide whether a plant is safe to eat or use medically.
What should I photograph?
Include the whole plant and sharp close-ups of leaves, stems, flowers, or fruit when available.
