I tend to try to figure out what plants are when I go for walks. Back when I still had more than 3 active brain cells, I could remember a lot of plants and flowers I saw on my walks around Denver. But these days, I'd forget the names of the plants in my own yard if the labels were missing. I am happy to see people out in their gardens so I can ask about their plants. But around here, I wait until late in the evening to go for walks and most people have called it a day by then.
Itty Bitty and I walked a new route last evening. Saw a tree with beautiful scented pink flowers. Then discovered that area has a lot of the same tree. Since it didn't bother my allergies, and attracted bees, I imagine Itty Bitty and I will walk that way often. Eventually, someone is bound to be in their yard for me to ask about them. I find it much more fun to ask the neighbors than take pictures and research - because I'm lazy. And I'm not sure I'd walk around with my camera in that area. We also didn't sit on any curbs to rest because it didn't feel safe. My cell phone is too cheap for decent pictures.
