Every once in a while I come across a link that causes my jaw to drop. The one this post is about is Vascular Plant Family Access Page. What made my jaw drop was that if you click on a plant family, it shows you pictures of plants within that family. So if you love brugmansia which is in the Solanaceae family you will see flowers that you never knew existed! Wow! a new source for gotta have's.

Here is the link for Non-Flowering Plants:

Here is the link for Flowering Plants:

http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/carr/fpfamilies.htm

So go find the family name of your favorite plants in the Plant Files. Since the lists are long, what I do is a search of the family on that page with the find feature in your browser.

Enjoy!!!!
