Did you know that it is possible toidentify the name of a plant or a flower from a simple photo ? Just point your phone's camera at a flower and you will get your answer.

Then you will be able to know the needs of this plant and take care of it successfully. With the app PlantNet you will be able to do all of this in seconds.

PlantNet is an application for Android et iOS which allows you to take a picture of a leaf, a flower or an entire plant in order to know exactly its species.

This application can only identify a plant whose image has already been shared by a user and therefore added to its database.

I've been using it for a few days, and it seems to work quite well. It must be said that it is a very useful application for knowing a little more about the flora in your garden or the surrounding nature.

Number of species, origin, sunshine, watering; everything is there to know exactly which plant you are dealing with and what care it requires.

But the database is still under development (especially in North America). And like all image identification apps, the position and quality of the photo are essential.

Finally, PlantNet claims to have over 20 species in its database which grows with each new identification. However, it still has a long way to go before listing the entire plant world, estimated at 000 species.
