Gardeners cannot quickly identify unknown plant species in their gardenHome gardeners and plant enthusiasts frequently encounter unidentified flowers and plants but lack reliable, fast methods to determine what they are. Current solutions require posting to forums and waiting for responses from other users, or using generic image search that often returns inaccurate results. This creates frustration when gardeners need immediate identification for care decisions, pest management, or landscaping planning.
