  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.


  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!

  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
