Re: Re: Re: plants... the last of them for this year....

I've never bookmarked the usda site because every time I did check a plant
there (via google), there was virtually no useful info.  Maybe just the luck
of the draw.  Pretty much all I found was classification, distribution, and
type.  Sometimes a picture.

However, WOW, while trying to actually find the site, I came across their
cross reference of introduced plants - very helpful!
http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/introduced.cgi?sorder=comname&startChar=H

So, while there I checked a few plants and, while there may have been a
little more info than I thought, not useful as in cultivation requirements,
growth habit, etc.  Still, a helpful site when combined with other
references so I did bookmark it.  Thanks Donna.
