Just that really. I’ve quite a few plants here that I’m unsure of. I signed up to the new RHS grow app thinking it was free, but it’s £3.99 a month. I already pay for my season ticket.

Does anybody know of a free app I could download? To help me identify plants.

If you type "plant identifier free" into the search option where you get your apps it will give you various choices. I use Plantnet but it is not brilliant

I’m enjoying Flora Incognita. I’ve only had it a few days and my grandchildren had fun with it yesterday on our trip to a country park.

It’s free to download.

Google Lens

It will be on your phone if you already use google as a search engine. Nothing to download. You just open google and click the little icon on the far right of the space.

That seems pretty good to me

Good to hear. I used it on several of the plants in my wild flower area yesterday. I have of course already forgotten their names!
