Can anyone recommend another plant database where you can check off desired characteristics, like “attracts hummingbirds,” and do a search? I’m looking for one similar to these:

http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/plantfinder/Search.asp
http://www.grownative.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.search

I hope I put this in the right forum.

Disclaimer:
Of course I love the database here, that’s one reason I subscribed! ☺

Thanks,

Maureen

It's buried a bit and hard to find, but you can do some searches like that here: http://davesgarden.com/pf/advanced.php?sname=Plants The search links in the Plant Files all seem to go to different search pages, kinda confusing. I just bookmark each one so I don't have to navigate each time!

Thanks Gardenwife!

Those are just the kind I'm looking for.

I do use the DG plantfiles search for specifics also. But I figure that maybe one database may have plants another doesn't, and I like to cross reference.

One day I'll have a digitl camera and contribute more to the database here as well :)

Thanks a whole lot for the links!

Maureen

You're welcome, Maureen! Hey, if you find a plant the database here doesn't have, add it! :) That's how the PF has gotten to be as great as it is.
