“綠葉扇 Green Leaf Fan” / 自然之形 Nature Forms / SML.20130331.7D.37380

I am obsessed with this plant, but I have no idea what it is called. I think that it might be the same plant that people used to use in ancient times for human-powered fanning. Trust that I will go and investigate.

 

It is a bit hard to figure out what things are called with just a visual image. Yes I did try Google Goggles but Goggles is not really good at finding images unless there is a visual exact match.

 

This is essentially what Flickr is training its engines to do: associating words with images so people can search better. Yes, really. And if they are not really doing that then trust that this is what I will do if I own an image search engine.

 

Yes, it is planned but probably not going to be for public consumption til 10 years from now so it is useless for you to know about what is going on at the moment.
