About wildflower identification
Spotter identifies wildflowers from a single photo, covering meadow blooms, woodland flowers, alpine species, and roadside growth. A clear photo of an open flower dramatically improves accuracy, since flowers are how species are confirmed.
Every identification includes the common and scientific name, key features, native range, and whether the flower is native or an introduced escape where you are. Results are reference information for learning and enjoyment.
