Where can I find a picture of the plant I'm interested in?

There are many web sites with extensive plant photo collections. Specific sites we recommend include:

Missouri Botanic Garden's Plant Images Online http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/links10.shtml

Botanical Image Datebase from University of Basel
http://pages.unibas.ch/botimage/

Plant Image Collection from the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of Natural History http://botany.si.edu/PlantImages/

The Google Image Search is an effective search engine for images of all types on the Internet.
http://images.google.com

USDA PLANTS is a database of 30,000 images with advanced attribute searching (growth habit, state distribution, etc.) and a focus on North American native and naturalized plants.

CalPhotos: Plants is a depository of over 76,000 plant photos. Many are of California natives but the range often includes the Pacific Northwest. Clear guidelines are included for obtaining permission on using the photographs.

Landscape Plants: Images, Identification and Information from Oregon State University provides multiple images of over 900 common landscape plants. Mostly woody plants, pictures for each typically include overall habit with close-ups of leaves, flowers, fruit and any other significant features.
