PLANT GUIDE
Flower identifier
Identify a flower from a photo and compare color, petal shape, bloom season and similar species.
Avoid uploading people or private documents.
A flower photo can reveal clues that leaves cannot. Capture the bloom from the front, then add a side view showing the stem, sepals and leaf arrangement.
Color alone is not enough because many species have multiple cultivars. Petal count, flower shape, scent, bloom season and the plant's growth habit help narrow the match.
Use the result to explore similar flowers and confirm the plant before eating, harvesting or treating it.
Common questions
Is flower color enough to identify a plant?
No. Cultivars can vary widely. Petal structure, leaves, season and growth habit are stronger clues.
Can I eat a flower after a photo match?
No. Confirm the species and growing conditions with a trusted local source before consuming any plant.
