About this Plant ID Gallery
There are many reasons why gardeners--even seasoned ones--need help identifying a plant now and then.

Maybe you knew once, and now you just can't remember.
Luckily, Fine Gardening readers are here to help you ID unknown plants in your garden.
Get help with plant identification--post a photo in our Mystery Plant Gallery now.
