Reading text in a cell array

Hey!

Basically i have a variable called imagetype1, that is a 1x1 cell. that tells gives me a category type such as flowers,dogs,sheep,camels,sky etc i'm trying to do an IF statement. my code is the following if imagetype1 == 'flowers'

but i keep getting the following error "Undefined operator '==' for input arguments of type 'cell'."

i'm basically trying to say if the 1x1 cell in imagetype1 is flowers then do the following statement. any ideas? thanks

if strcmp( imagetype1, 'flowers' )   % recommended
