What is a good website to find the names of species of plants i have at home?

Question

its for an assinment at school, any help is appreciated

Answer 1

If you are looking for the names of outdoor plants in your area, try this. The USDA plant database.

http://plants.usda.gov/index.html

If you mean houseplants, just google the common names. You should be able to find most pretty easily.

Answer 2

You may find the Gardening section of Martha Stewart's website helpful:

In a broader sense, maybe a Google search "plant identification" + names may help you find what you need:

EDIT: I just remembered that P. Allen Smith, the writer/host of Garden Home on PBS, has an online plant library, with photos, common names, and Latin names -- a great resource!

Answer 3

Some of my customers use websites to look up plants I refer to them, but I don't know the sites.

Try googling some things like horticulture, plants, ornamentals, trees, shrubs, landscaping, stuff like that. Hope you get a more specific answer. Guess I should find out and write them down for future use.

Good Luck
