Tadej, Otiv, Zlatica and....; I don't know the procedure (method) to find an unknown or sought flower in the FLOWERS forum; please help and THANKS!!

Tadej23. 10. 2020 21:28:37

In the forum or in the flowers section?
In the flowers section you have a search box above
https://www.hribi.net/rastline.asp

but in the forum it's harder to find.

Tadej, thanks; I know that I should search for it in the "search box", but what to write in "name", what in "type", what in "family", I know only the color.
I'm attaching the picture ;..thanks for the help!

Apolonija25. 10. 2020 00:42:50

kati, I think it's red campion (Silene dioica)

kati190925. 10. 2020 10:51:14

Oh, Apolonija, hello; thanks for the name. Let me take the opportunity; what's her name?

Apolonija25. 10. 2020 13:18:45

Kati, if I understand correctly, you search in the search engine for plants you already know, unknowns you try to figure out here on the forum. nasmeh

Apolonija; sorry; I, the "silly" one, forgot to attach the picture before (will now). You're right about the search engine; YOU "solve" the unknowns for me.

Dusky cranesbill (Geranium phaeum) nasmeh

Apolonija, you enter one or more characteristics into the search to narrow down the results. If you know the color or family, you still don't know the plant species. When the search shows e.g. all plants from one family or all blue ones from one family, you can compare individual species with yours.
Of course for someone who doesn't feel like searching, the easiest is to post on the forum for someone to identify the species.
There are many websites available for searching. One of them is also http://zaplana.net/flowers/index_si.asp

Otiv, thanks!
malenka; it's not that "I don't feel like searching", but that the search engine doesn't always offer a solution!

kati1909, you defined what 'not feeling like searching' means - exactly that: if you expect the search engine to just tell you the solution.
The search engine is just a program that gives a solution if you give it data. But it's not that precise to determine the exact species, because you'd need to give it like 10 data points first, sometimes more (you know something about plant differences; but it's a bit hard to describe e.g. leaf shape by which 2 species might differ).
People have experience, so some plants we easily recognize from photo; in some cases impossible because need to see certain parts very closely, but not on photo. Sometimes for determination need to know where plant grew, not just geographically, also habitat traits - marsh or rock and what kind of rock, lowland or alpine, meadow or forest or roadside etc.
