You're almost there. UIGestureRecognizer has a view property. If you allocate and attach a gesture recognizer to each image view - just as it appears you do in the code snippet - then your gesture code (on the target) can look like this:

- (void) imageTapped:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gr {

  UIImageView *theTappedImageView = (UIImageView *)gr.view;
}

What's less clear from the code you provided is how you associate your Plant model object with it's corresponding imageView, but it could be something like this:

NSArray *myPlants;

for (i=0; i

Now the gr code can do this:

- (void) imageTapped:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gr {

  UIImageView *theTappedImageView = (UIImageView *)gr.view;
  NSInteger tag = theTappedImageView.tag;
  Plant *myPlant = [myPlants objectAtIndex:tag-32];
}
