Google Lens does this. But not only for plants. And it is quite good. I could identify most of the plants in the park. Cool to know there is some edible stuff in the park like ramson


I was going to say the same thing, I would like to see a comparison of the two


Ramson smells like garlic, anything herbaceous that smells like garlic when cut fresh is Allium. Is a pretty unmistakable genus.

Something that does not smell exactly like garlic can be Allium also, like Onions.

Convallaria has runners also so it forms thick mat roots. Leaves stand in a different angle. In Bear's garlic each plant is individual.


Thanks, I meant of Google Lens. I am going to have to try ramsom though


Start with the flowers to avoid any risk. Are edible also. Then you will recognize easily the same flavour in leaves.


Were those ramsons flowering? Lily of the valley leaves could easily trick Google Lens, they would be more likely to find in a park, and they are deadly.
