The plant-identification site Mister Smarty Plants, which I first blogged about here on May 23, 2011, just keeps getting better.
One innovation from the past year has been rounding up tweets containing photos of flowers and plants that people around the world want help identifying and bringing them to the site to be identified by the growing number of readers.
I used to get a lot of identifications right, but Mister Smarty Plants queries are quite exotic now, which makes the site both exciting and challenging.
Today, John announced a new design with special features like kudos to the week’s most successful plant identifiers.
The Smarty Plants concept has always been that the more people who come to the site with their questions, the more who will be available to identify plants. John has been persistent about finding new ways to reach the folks who need the service.
Even if you think you don’t know much about plants, check it out. It’s almost like playing a game, and believe it or not, there are people in other parts of the world who don’t know what a dandelion is.

So glad that the site has continued to grow–way to go, John!
It has been a learning experience and has taken persistence, but there is definitely a need.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have a mystery plant coming up in the front yard, and think I’ll post a picture to see if anyone can help determine what it is.
The answers aren’t instantaneous yet, but the more people who participate, the more likely that they will be.
