Bromeliad Aroids Tropicals Celebrating Gardening: 2015 Plant Identifier
i find that multi-plan photos taken on the street or where plants are unlabeled take a lo-ong time to research.
very often i can get away with just generic tags, but sometimes i don't even have any idea what some of the plants are.
it would be cool if smbody else tried to identify them. of course, i can open a comment and ask, but i think that photo comments are not read enough to be useful for that.
so when i have a lot of unknown plants in the pic - i just don't post it until i manage to get closer to identifying them at least in generic terms. now, to id cultivars of most landscaping plants is almost impossible unless they are very unique.
i could say smth like 'large purple' or 'dwarf red', but i feel kinda silly to post that.
i had an idea: i can post a multi on my blog together with more close-ups of individual groups of plants for detail. and then even individual pics of some plants. so you can view it as a group and at the same time see each plant clearly.
that should help in terms of landscaping choices, i think.
but it would be really nice if we can group multi-plant photos somehow for searching purposes into sub-categories.
