Got this lil cutie for free today but it’s not labeled. Apple wasn’t able to give me an exact identification, can someone help me out please? 😁

Iresine lindenii formosa

Awesome thank you! Apple photos said it was a type of blood leaf but I could only find the deep red ones. Figured it was faster to ask here and I was right!

What do you mean that Apple wasn’t able to give any info? Genuinely curious

#### Josie replied on 2025-03-09

Apple (iphone) photos can identify plants, it gave me two different plants but neither of them looked like the exact one that this is.

Josie you just blew my fricken mind 🫠 thank you kindly for this information🙏 I’m only 25 but my hubby calls me a boomer

My rule about questions is if you ask politely I answer politely. But the go to should always be to be polite not rude! Glad I could help you lean something! Knowledge is for everyone. ☺️

Is it better than Google lens?

#### c.cat replied on 2025-03-10

personally i dont trust it at all - its calling my variegated frydek a philodendron 😂

#### Josie replied on 2025-03-11

I’ve never used Google lens. Apple does get it wrong on occasion for sure but even when it’s wrong I can sometimes get enough from it to go in the right direction to figure it out if I’m not too lazy to dig. 😂

Mom and I compared them(I have android) against eachother while I visited AZ in Dec. And they were pretty comparable. They each got a few wrong, but its taking a 2d pic and trying to find 'facial' recognition on another 2d pic. I gotta give them some leeway lol
