Useful things to photograph/document

For plants:

  1. No Flowers: Really hard to identify some plants by just the leaves, these ones end up as just ‘Plant’ most of the time.
  2. Just One Flower: A photo of the flower without seeing how it connects to the stem or without any photos of the whole plant or leaves at the bottom.

Link to another topic with example of second point.

Edit: There are people who can and do a good job identifying plants without flowers, but it takes lots of exposure and familiarity to develop that skill.
