| Can you tell me where to find most comprehensive horticultural databases on the web for details about individual species and varieties? |
| You can try the following sites. I've had trouble getting into a few of them, and others seem to be works in progress: USDA Plants Project: http://plants/usda.gov The Virtual Garden: http://pathfinder.com/vg Univ of Illinois: www.aces.uiuc.edu/~vo-ag/aglinks/hort.htm The Garden Gate at: [email protected] Ohio State: http://www.hcs.ohio-state.edu/...... There is also garden planning software, such as Burpee's 3-D Garden Designer (on CD) with an encyclopedia of plants. Sometimes, the best information can be gleaned from mail-order companies' catalogs. |
