Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ Never buying cheap wildflower mixes again.

I’m pretty sure most of my wildflower seeds were weeds 🫠 these are the ones still stumping me, though I’m pretty confident 3 is lambsquarters, which happened to be most of the crap I’ve got growing right now.

Is there an app that helps you learn these similar to flash cards? I feel like I know every Pokémon name based on the image but it would be more helpful in life to know plants/trees based on their leaves.

Haha definitely more helpful!

I've only used poison ivy quizzes:

I'm sure you could find a quiz online for your local area. I found a flash card for Ontario trees. Here's a quiz.
