This one is a reasonably common garden plant here, so I knew it's name, but if I don't, Google Images is surprisingly helpful

Thank you kindly! I somehow never knew its name
despite how often I'd see it in gardens growing up!
But thanks for sure, I have used Google Images before,
but needed an idea of the name to guess to find it, and
with these, I've always been clueless...

If you've got an image, Google Images is pretty good at finding a name, but it also works surprisingly well with plant descriptions

Nice, thank you for the info! You're so informative, and
well I feel super silly, but now I know!

You have to start getting fairly specific to narrow it down, but as an example this string spits out Frangipanis:

www.google.com/search?tbm=isch…

Then it's a bit hit and miss to hope it finds something with a useful name.
