Generally it is acceptable to say " to see other images of this plant go
to XXXX's site and see image xxx" - directing someone to someone else's
page is not a form of plagiarism.

I think we all agree that using someone¹s photos is wrong and most
likely
illegal, even if legal proceedings are impractical.

However, what if someone merely posts a link to your site, as in: ³A
photo
of this plant may be found at http://www.basilsplantpage.com²
What if the site is a commercial with an on-ling catalog?

I have never done this, but have wondered if it would be viewed the
same as
simply taking a photo and publishing it without permission
or attribution.
