• Question

  What is the best website for finding photos of plants? It would be nice if I could see hundreds of close up high resolution photos of all angles of any plant in all growth stages (first year, second year, etc). What's the best site for botanical drawings? What is the best site for learning botany terms? I'd like to see a definition of terms and photo examples.

  Answer

  Dear weedid, for many plants, there are not hundreds of images, let alone close-up images from different angles. Nor are there many drawings. It depends on how common the species of plant is. Those that are seen often and especially those that are still used by humans (food, fiber, medicine) will often have a large array of pictures available. Go Botany has one of the best collections of photographs for species in the northeastern portion of the United States. Further, it also has a glossary with links to display definitions and images. Perhaps you can start there.
