Any idea what kind of cactus this is? Came across it yesterday, kinda love it. ❤️🌵

@davemark that’s not a cactus. That’s the dark seed of an elder god.

@octothorpe 👏🏻 😂

@davemark It would be interest to see if your iPhone detects it. Once you take the picture and slide up the picture in Photos, does it perform the lookup and tell you what it is?

@titociuro I did the lookup, Photos ML couldn’t identify it.

@davemark Actually, I just did.

@davemark Is this lookup accurate though? 🤔

@titociuro probably accurate. I was in a remote place with terrible cell coverage. That’s probably why my iPhone couldn’t identify it. Cheers!

@davemark They did have a session this year at WWDC this year which seems perfect for this since they used Create ML to build a succulent plant classifier 🙂

I was thinking that I might be able to use that to identify the plant if they had the model (or their data set) up as a sample. But unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that particular sample project is available …

Here’s the session in case you’re wondering:

@f The ML worked (once I got back to a working cell) but I think it was wrong. But no matter, appreciate the share. Cheers!

@davemark Just because I’m curious, I was thinking of using one of the Create ML projects from WWDC and seeing what it spits out for your image 🙂 Will let you know if I actually get it working *and* it does give me a result which looks promising …
