 A personal plant management web app built with Django 5, Bootstrap 5, and HTMX.
 
-Track your plants, log pruning activity, and get care info auto-filled from the Perenual species database.
+Track your plants, identify them by photo, and get care info auto-filled from the Perenual and Pl@ntNet APIs.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Species search** — search Perenual API by name; care data (watering, sunlight, pruning months) is auto-filled into the plant form and cached locally so the API is only called once per species
-- **Plant list** — filterable by name, location, indoor/outdoor
+- **Plant identification** — upload a photo; Pl@ntNet identifies it, shows top matches with reference images, pre-fills name and species, and saves the Pl@ntNet reference image as the plant thumbnail
+- **Species search** — search Perenual API by name; care data (watering, sunlight, pruning months) is auto-filled and cached locally
+- **Plant list** — filterable by name and location
 - **Plant detail** — shows care info, pruning status, and pruning history
 - **Pruning log** — log a pruning event with date and notes via HTMX partial update
 - **Pruning calendar** — all plants grouped by urgency: overdue, due this month, due next month, later
