Re: web ref. for plant ID

Linda,

There isn't any "one" place on the web for plant identification.  But, in
my searches for photographs to link to in my articles on Suite101, I've
amassed a list of web sites with plant photos. Many of them also contain
information about the particular plant or the species.  Finding information
and photos of cultivars is a bit of a challenge.   Here are some of the
URLs.  You'll find something, but not everything on each site.   

Some of the vascular plant listings want you to know which family the plant
belongs to.  A work around is to use your browser's 'find' feature to
search for the particular plant's botanical name once the page has loaded. 
Gardening.com, which disappeared there for a while, is back and one of the
first places I look.

I've  about come to the conclusion that there is a photo of just about
every plant out there on the web, if you only have time and patience to
search long enough for it.

Hope this helps.
