Why Didn't My Picture Get Uploaded
Title Guidelines
You didn't use the flower color and leaf description in title to assist in sorting.
The plant has to be an outdoor plant growing in North America
Temperate climate and not tropical - this section is about identifying perennial flowers after all. I may allow some shrubs but no houseplants or tropical flowers anymore. Sorry.
You have to give us a good picture.
It has to be in focus, it has to include a good closeup of the leaf and the flower if possible as well as a "long" shot to let us see the whole plant.
We need a picture of the flower and a picture of the leaves
You can add up to 4 pictures of each plant - please give us one of the flowers, the foliage and the entire plant.
Folks, if the volunteers can't see it, they can't help you.
Unfortunately, if the above guidelines are not followed - your picture will not be approved.
Details
Tell us about where the plant is growing.Sun, shade ??
City, town, state/province)
You can answer questions and comments in the comments section.
Thank the volunteers who help you
Let me suggest you thank the volunteers who help you. :-)One Plant Per Submission
Each submission can have up to 4 pictures but only one plant per submission.
Your Plant Will No Longer Be Added to the List if it Doesn't Follow the Above Guidelines
I'm sorry but our volunteers are being asked to identify plants from bad pictures, no flowers on the plant with the plant in the background. This is just not possible for them so.... follow the guidelines please
Do You Need a Plant Identified
If you have a plant that you'd like a name for, show it to us right here (but see the details above first)
We'll do our best to identify it.
Again, the picture must show a closeup of the leaf and flower or fruit. No long distance shots please.
