Thanks Tabish ji The idea arose from QR Codes used in labels of plants in Lodhi Garden. A few voluntary organisations are wanting to put up similar labels but would be interested to know website o which they link their labels. Since Flowers of India and efloraofindia are two biggest sites having good information (especially Flowers of India with both images, description and local names) and representing majority of plants growing/grown in India, available of QR Codes would be easily downloaded and used in labels. Once we have these, we could popularize this information.
