Hi,
I have an image of a plant I would like help identifying. I will post
at alt.binaries.pictures.gardens. What is the best image size to do
this? TIA

You'll do better with three small shots than one big one usually.
Take a whole-plant distant shot, a close-up of a twig and leaves. and
one more of anything that seems distinctive about the plant right now.
Depending on season, you could add a shot of the flowers and/or fruit,
for example, or some plants are readily identified by bark/stem
photos.
