[sleepwello'nights]

Any recommendations for a plant identification app for an iPhone.

I've looked at online reviews but would welcome recommendations from here.

Thnx

They're all shite in my experience, the Woodland Trust tree one is good though for trees, but there are only about 50 native trees versus 1000s of plants. Post it here and I'll tell you (maybe).

Not really, but I know that one, a shield bug.

If you collect 20 of them you can exchange them for a chunky "crystal" wine glass.

Google Lens is pretty good. I was interested to know what a particular bush actually was. Lens told me straight off it's an oleander and took me to the wiki page.

Sod Google Lens or any fancy app, you've got me

Take a photo and then google lens it.

Then post it on one of the Fb plant ID groups.

Just Googled Green Shield stamps. I thought the company went bust and the shops closed.

But no. They gradually phased out stamps in the shops and let people buy the items wih cash. Then rebranded as Argos.

That's a great pub quiz quetsion...

Garden Answers not bad.

Regarding the shield bug, dont terrorise it or it will release a pungent revolting smell in self defence.
