Looking at Plants

WELCOME

 
 

We're glad you could join us in our exploration of plants. Just select a category in the navigation bar for the path to the plant that you're interested in. Plants A - Z has all plants listed by their Scientific Name. You can also click on one of the specialty group buttons for quicker access if the plant you are interested in is in one of those categories. If you only know the plant by a common name, you can use the Common Names Button to find the Scientific Name.

The Recent Profiles Button will give you the recent additions.

The Plant Toxicity Button will give you some basics on poisonous plants as well as the website links to the authorities that we cite in the plant profiles.

Have a pleasant journey! Should you have a question about anything, please feel free to contact us.

Thanks for visiting and we always welcome your comments.

Quote of the Day

“The American spring is like the country itself: abundant, rich, flowing over you like a full tide. ... Azaleas were suddenly ablaze. White dogwoods stood like brides in the wood - these trees of all colors were new to me; one does not meet them in Europe, and dogwood cannot even be transplanted to other continents. White and pink magnolias, yellowish rhododendrons, all of them lived happily side by side with our ordinary lilacs and lilies of the valley - the Russian symbols of spring.”
