I decided to start a flower and plant site after finding out that I couldn't associate most flower, tree or plants with their English names. There are many foreign students in my research group and they knew the common names for many plants in their tongue so why shouldn't I?

This site thus dedicated to those of us who are botany-impaired. I have tried / am trying to keep the flowers and plants loosely organized by biological family to help you out.

Of particular note, each particular photograph has a "find" link associated with it on the "other" portion of the toolbar. You can use this to invoke goggle to do a search on the flower's common name. It can be helpful as something to explore during downtime (e.g., while eating lunch or something).

Enjoy!
