Identification game

What makes you say that, just would like your opinion, as to your comment, no right or wrong, just interested in your assumption/comment

 

The reason I am interested is, the plant is Rafflesia Arnoldii, the rarest plant in the world, a plant that smells like rotting flesh, so they say, its only grown in remote pockets of Indonesia, so either you are a world renowned Horticulturalist, or your cheating

 

@Cuttings Could you please share what app that is, thanks.

 

@Cuttings The Curcuma I knew straight away as I bought one a few years ago in Birkenhead market! I used to buy in Ipomoeas from Ball, for hanging baskets for Weymouth Parks Dept, had the yellow ones too.
I don't have any 'apps' just a (fading/failing) memory.

 

I have an Ipomoea 'Blackie' but for some reason don't have a pic of it blooming but will take one soon. Also had a Curcuma Siam.

 

I think one was guarded behind netting when I last went to Kew.
Not in flower but seed.

 

Oh @Cuttings I thought the plant was a stapelia - same sort of flower. Didn't think anyone would have a rafflesia!

 

As for the apps, I have been told this week that they are pretty poor for native wildflowers, so you just have to key them out, and when I tried using one at work, it was great for australasian/south african plants but less good at the more 'normal' herbaceous border things. Probably because its machine learning had been trained on those countries due to the company producing it.

 

Dont know what its called, but a couple of my customers use it, and its very good, I will ask them next time they are in.

 

He he, good company ball colgrave, fading memory my doodah, if you are not using an app, great memory I say

 

The one that one of my customers was using, she took a photo of the leaf, and ding, it came back Parahebe snow clouds, so I got her to take a photo of a hd photo of a plant, then ding it came back Cytisus Battandieri, correct both times, it even had a care guide, for each plant.

 

Gosh @Cuttings - better performance than I ever saw
