shadowfax Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 not sure if its been done but it would be helpful if we had a thread with pictures of plants & what they are called, not all of use are very good at knowing whats what & the lfs aren't always very helpful, you just end up buying what looks nice & have no idea what it is. if anyone has some nice pictures we could start a plant library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Good pics. I think one of the problems for people is that when buying plant from the shops it is generally grown emersed and they look quite different to the same plant grown submersed. In most of the shops round here if you ask for the identity of a plant you are told the price and that is all they know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 If you go to the home page here and look to the far right you'll see a list that has things like articles and stuff in it.. there's a plant survey which is quiate a good starting point. It has drawings rather than pictures though but it's extremely informative and gives you temp and pH ranges etc. (Although when I tried the link in the wee hours yesterday it wasn't working) There are a couple of really good links that were posted here recently too: www.plantgeek.net http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... antfinder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Maybe we should be getting more pics onto the plant survey, there are a couple, but not many. Who should we send them to to do this, I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
