About MyPlantID
Back in January 2008, we started MyPlantID as a free service to help people identify the plants from their gardens, communities and travels using a straightforward approach: send us a photograph and we name the plant.
After only a few days the response to the website was overwhelming, with photo submissions from around the world. While thrilled, it was more than we could handle. But surrounded by plant enthusiasts visiting and contributing to the website, we realized we had the best set of experts already with us!
The result is today’s MyPlantID, where a community of plant hobbyists can ask questions and answer them, submit photos of their unidentified plants and help other folks identify theirs. You can upload a photo of your plant and add it to our map of unidentified plants, discuss the identification of submitted plants with other members, and help build a searchable plant identification database. In the, end, with your help and curiosity, we hope to build MyPlantID into the premier plant identification website and forum...in the world!
