Why is there no image search result for the "beige flowering trees"?

Asked by flo (13313points) May 21st, 2013

It gave me this

So, I tried it without the quote marks. This is not good. How do I narrow it down to only the actual trees?

I am looking for one that looks like a Christmas tree decorated with beige candles, from afar.

conifer and beige flowers

Thanks @janbb I edited the OP by the way.

Also, with the search, I was aiming to find out the name of the tree “Conifer”

Why does it refuse to give result with the quote marks?

I can’t think of a flower or a tree that has beige flowers? Is there such a thing?

flo's avatar

Yes it is in one of the results actually. Maybe flower is not the the right term. It could be something like acorns from afar that look like flowers.

Not a tree, and I don’t know if it is called a flower, but here (the fifth image from the link) is one example.

I see what you mean. I would call it an ornental grass. I see it frequently here but I don’t lnow the name. Do you want me to see if I can find out for you? Maybe bellatrix would know.

By the way, did you mean ornamental grass? I was just pointing that out as an example of beige “flower” or flower.

What search term would you use to get the images of the actual trees only?

Flo I don’t recall seeing trees with foliage like that, only the ornamental grasses which do grow to 6–8’

@flo are you hunting for this tree so you can plant one? I did see a tree in an alley near my house recently that had actual flowers or blossoms that were a lovely beige colour. I don’t know what kind of tree it was but I will hunt for it and take a pic for you. If it is what you mean I will try to find out what kind it is.

The cones in your pic don’t look at all beige to me, but maybe it is the way my monitor is calibrated???

No, no my purpose really is just to find the search term that would exclude all those things that are not an actual trees. And it is just to look at all those trees, “just looking” as we say when we window shop. Thaqnks for the offer.

Nothing wrong with your monitor, the cones are brown.

I am told that what looks like the “beige flowers” are drying leaves. The dry leaves were uniformally spread out, unlike in this picture diseased tree.

I just found the tree on our walk this morning. Look here Not the best pic, but I tried!!!

Thanks. I don’t think I’ve seen that one.
