There is a wonderful tool called Google Image Search. You can use it to ID any number of things. I have found it doesn't work as great on IDing plants as it does on other things but it all depends on what you're trying to ID. Here is an instructional on it. I did this over in the Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum in the Bird Photos June 2018 thread when we were trying to ID a particular bird.

See the second choice here? That's the one I click on OR you can bookmark the page when we get there.
https://www.google.com/search?...
So now I click & get this:
https://images.google.com/?gws...
I'm going to do a screenshot of that also so you can see it:

See the little camera symbol there? Click on it. You get this:

You can see that you have the option of pasting an image URL OR of uploading an image. I almost always prefer uploading an image so I'm going to click on that option & you see this:

Now I click on "choose file"
Earlier I had done a screen shot of Cece's bird. I did that b/c I wanted to cut as much out of the photo as I could to leave only the bird itself. The reason for that is that, in this case, we are looking to ID the bird not the entire photo, IOW, not find a copy of the entire photo on the internet. This is the screenshot I had taken:

From there you just choose the photo like you do when you want to upload a photo to anywhere.
This is what Google image gave me:

From there I did searches for "green tanager" in Brazil.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
