How do I identify a plant?

To identify a plant you can use characteristics like size, leaf shape, flower color, form, or fragrance. Oftentimes it is helpful to use a guide book or app to help you recognize certain plants and flowers.

How do I identify a flowering shrub?

You can identify a shrub by looking at the shrub leaves, which are either simple or compound, and observe if they are growing opposite or alternately placed on the branch. To recognize a flower shrub, you should first look at the time of year, as some are early-blooming, while others bloom in late spring. Also notice the size of the flower, and it’s location.

How do you identify a flower?

First, you should take notice of the color, size, and shape of the flower. Also try to recognize the number of its petals and leaves. The location, whether it is in a sunny or shady place for example, may also help to identify the flower. Use books or mobile apps to assist you in the process.
