Suzanne’s brother started a plant-identification website called Mister Smarty Plants. The idea is that you upload that mystery flower you’ve been wondering about, the one that pops up every spring along your driveway, let’s say. Then other people who come to the site try to identify it. It’s crowd-sourcing. When Mister Smarty Plants has a definitive answer, he sends you an e-mail.
The concept works amazingly well, although some submissions can be tough. Someone posted a picture of a plant grown from seeds picked up on the ground in France, and no one has identified it confidently yet. Maybe you can.
