Whilst searching for references for Cremanthodium and Saussurea pictures I came across this website:
http://botany.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/gallery/library_query.htm
Which seems to give links to plant photographs on the web. Thought it may be of use to some if searching for pics of specific plants.
Can't remember this site being mentioned before, apologies if it has.
Maggi I didn't know if there was a page for these sort of links, feel free to move if there is a more suitable place.
Cheers
Mick

Yes, Mick, this is a link to a very useful site.
This page is a good place for the link to be... will be seen by plenty folks, I should think! 8)

Thanks Mick; that's a useful find.
Curious how some genera are less well indexed though, e.g. Primula :-\

A message here about a Photo Project for which we would like to seek your help:
At this time of year many of you have been busy seed collecting. May I ask you a favour?
As you collect and clean the seed, would you please take photos of the various seed types you have, spread on 1mm graph paper to show the scale, and send the named photos to me in the first instance. The idea will be to post them in a special seed ID section of the forum and produce a "library" of photos of seed likely to be found in the seed exchanges of the SRGC, NARGS and AGS .
We are trying to compile a file of photos of correctly named seed to help identify true seed for packers of the seed exchanges and to let folks see if the seed they "think" they have bears any resemblence to the true type seed at all!
It would be very helpful if forumists with seed they know to be true, would be so kind as to take part in this project. It will be an enormous task, taking many years to amass a full list of seeds likely to be of interest to rock gardeners, but with many helpers we hope progress can be made.
I do hope you will all consider taking part in this project.
