Plant Pulse.

A living global atlas of plant life. Photograph a plant — in a backyard, park, farm, forest or wilderness — and discover its name, family, range and story. Every identification can become a permanent observation, and over time those observations chart what grows where, when plants flower, and how vegetation responds to a changing climate.

What's growing near me?

No plant observations yet. Photograph a plant and identify it to start the record.

From backyard herbs to old-growth trees — major groupings grow into full profile pages as the community documents them.

NaturePulse Identify combines visual AI with open taxonomic databases (iNaturalist today; Pl@ntNet and botanical databases join as their keys arrive). Safety labels like edible or poisonous never come from an image guess — and a wild plant is never declared safe to eat.

One observation = one permanent data point in a decades-long record
Observations roll up from neighbourhood to planet through the SocialPulse geographic system.
Fungi have their own hub in the catalogue — same honesty rules apply.

My fascination with nature began long before smartphones, digital photography or the Internet. I grew up in Elivaly, in Kadanad village in Kottayam district, Kerala — surrounded by the rhythms of rural life.
