        Another tips for plants: PlantNet. This is a mobile app where it tries to detect the plant species based on a photo. Not perfect, but very helpful.

        And we have this:
        https://www.jungledragon.com/species/guide

        Huge list of sites to aid in identification.         Posted 5 years ago

    The flower and succulent leaves makes me think it could be purslane (Portulaca sp.). Not totally sure though. Posted 5 years ago

        I joined the facebook group to identify flowers, and someone had the same flower identified as Portulaca umbraticola. We don't have this in the database. Posted 5 years ago

              Gotcha, looks good to me. But, I'm sure that if it is wrong, someone will surely correct it at some point :). Posted 5 years ago
