The two I’ve tried are meh (Seek and Plantnet).
I have to weed on the far side of the house where a roommate planted some stuff and can’t tell what are weeds and what are not.

(5,368 posts)and I since I’ve been living here have rarely gone over to that side of the house. The beds on this side and down front keep me busy! Not to mention mowing.
Some beautiful new yellow iris came up and are starting to bloom. Pretty sure she planted those.

(10,851 posts)A tour of Northern California Forest with a National Forest Educators group, a Cali State Ranger showed me a ap she uses is “INaturalist”. You can take a picture and it can ID it or it will help narrow it down to a few you can verify by looking closer at the options it gives.
I have not used it in a while, I don’t travel much and I know most all here where I taught for 30 years.
Hope it is still available and can help. I am certain there has to be even better AP’s now. My trip was 2019.
