Plants
Plants are abundant all over the world with an estimated
350,000 known species. Every corner of the planet has
some form of plant life such as flowers, trees,
fruits, vegetables, and ferns. Most plants go
through the process of photosynthesis, and most are
classified as autotrophs.
Plant Information
There are many different types
of plants. We will eventually have all different
kinds of plants catalogued. Currently
you can find information about Flowers, Herbs, Shrubs
and Bushes, and Trees.
Included in our plant information are sections with
pictures of plants. Find them easily in our Plant
Pictures section, where all plant pictures
are sorted categorically and alphabetically.
We also have a section with Plant
Terminology. You will undoubtedly come across some
plant terms that you have never heard. Don't be confused
anymore, find out what they mean here!
We recently added a Plant
Information section. This area will serve as a Plant
library, with our plant information
sorted into various areas, information on how to grow
plants, and everything else related to plants.
