    No need for an app ... just post a photo here ... someone will know

    Thank you for your comment.  I just thought it would be handy to have when looking round other gardens and garden centres/plant nurseries.  I have just been to a plant sale and have bought things on spec!

    We’re they not labelled? If you know the name you can Google to find out more about it. 😊

    They were but there are many types of e.g. phlox and it may be crucial to know which for their success in the garden.

    The problem with apps is that they can still give you inaccurate information.  :)
    Far better to take a photo, upload it here, and you'll get more accurate IDs.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The forum members are excellent but sometimes the app is handy too. I use inaturalist  which also has people checking the ids but it often gives a pretty good idea of you take a decent photo. There are others of course.
