Identifying flowers on photos - use an app! - Flora Incognita

I just accidentally stumbled upon a free app from a German university which can automatically identify plants:
https://floraincognita.com/

I tried it and do find it absolutely excellent. It helps me (completely undereducated when it comes to identifying plants) easily know the name of a flower I see (and take a photo of).

So if you like shooting flowers outside or even if you are just hiking and wonder what it is - it helps. Take a smartphone photo and it will tell you.

It also keeps track of all observations and will show them on a map. You don't even need to create an account (though I did that so I can share the findings within the family, all using the same account).

That really is one great usage of image recognition technology.

Obsidentify does the same for plants & animals..... (based in Netherlands, Belgium ....)

It prefers input with GPS data , to allow inventarisation of species for biological research....

BirdNET will tell you what birds are in your vicinity by the sounds they make.

I use a free version the Seek app. I do the ID after the fact from photos displayed on the computer monitor. You could likely use it for flowers and plants while shooting.
