Die Webpräsenz bietet drei Bereiche: eine virtuelle botanische Wanderung zu Frühblühern im Lippachtal; Anleitungen und Abbildungen zum Thema Herbarium; sowie eine Darstellung zur Orchideenvielfalt am Standort Bergsteig bei Mühlheim an der Donau. [Redaktion vifabio]
Die meisten Pflanzen stammen aus der Umgebung von Kirchheim unter Teck am Rande der Schwäbischen Alb (in dieser Stadt bin ich aufgewachsen) oder der von Dreieich in Hessen, wo ich jetzt wohne. Die wissenschaftliche Nomenklatur richtet sich meist nach der Standardliste der Farn- und Blütenpflanzen Deutschlands von R. Wisskirchen und H. Haeupler. Alle Pflanzenfotos, mit Ausnahme der Fotos, deren Urheberin meine Frau ist, wurden von mir, Robert Flogaus-Faust, fotografiert und unterliegen meinem Urheberrecht. ...

Blumenzucht und Blumenmalerei waren eine zeittypische Liebhaberei barocker Fürsten. Insbesondere die Tulpe, erst um die Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts in Europa bekannt geworden, erfreute sich wegen ihrer fast unübersehbaren Sortenvielfalt größter Beliebtheit. Für ihre Zwiebeln wurden zeitweise phantastische Preise gezahlt. Markgraf Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach (1679 - 1738), selbst ein passionierter Gärtner, den man oft schon im Morgengrauen mit dem Spaten hantieren sah, konnte gegen Ende seines Lebens im Karlsruher Schlossgarten mehr als 5000 Tulpensorten bewundern. Daneben gab es viele andere Blumen, auch zahlreiche botanische Raritäten, die in Gewächshäusern gehalten wurden. Unter der Signatur KS Nische C 13 bewahrt die Badische Landesbibliothek einen Band mit 72 Blumendarstellungen aus der Zeit Karl Wilhelms (um 1730). ... [Information des Anbieters]
Celebrating Wildflowers is dedicated to the enjoyment of the thousands of wildflowers growing on our national forests and grasslands, and to educating the public about the many values of native plants. Celebrating Wildflowers emphasizes: (*) The aesthetic value of plants - a field of wildflowers is a beautiful sight; (*) The recreational value of plants - picking berries is fun for the whole family; (*) The biological value of plants - native plants support other life; (*) The medicinal value of plants - chemicals from plants help combat sickness; (*) The economic value of plants - plant material such as floral greens are commercially valuable; (*) The conservation of native plants - protecting and maintaining native plant habitat. ...

The Wildflower Center is located in Southwest Austin, Texas. The mission of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscapes. The Center’s gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country, South and West Texas, while the Plant Conservation Program protects the ecological heritage of Texas by conserving its rare and endangered flora. The Native Plant Information Network is a database of more than 7,200 native species available online. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
For most people, it is hard work to identify tropical forest plants with a scientific name, especially out in the field, whether on the farm by the road-side or in the forest. There are so many species and, compared to European plants, relatively little is published that can be used to identify them in the tropics. We hope with this web site to help at various levels with the identification of living plants, especially but not only in equatorial regions. We include guidance, literature and a growing number of images to aid field guide production. By promoting field guide production and thus a greater understanding of plant diversity in the tropics, we hope we are contributing to the long-term sustainability of rural livelihoods and bringing more immediate socio-economic benefits. The Virtual Field Herbarium plant image gallery (VFH for short) is composed of images and linked data from (eco-)friendly researchers and artists. In effect, the VFH is a collaborative tool, with various methods for sifting through the collection, and should be useful in itself for identifying plants, at least in the regions where we have collaborators. Like all aspects of this site, it is still young and growing. ... [Information of the supplier]

Tasmania is one of Australia's better kept secrets, cradled by the Roaring Forties (winds) and as old as Time. Ancient sedimentary rocks were intruded by dolerite, which was later exposed and sculpted by glacial ice to create a rugged landscape of bare mountains with a characteristic "organ pipe" design. Temperate rainforests, abundant with ferns, mosses, lichens and colourful fungi, hide in sheltered mountain folds. Enormous trees tower up from these moist havens and waterfalls are fed by glacial lakes. On the exposed high ground plants have accommodated themselves by becoming smaller and more dense, able to withstand harsh living in snow-melt or blazing sun or scouring winds. ...

The goal of Flora Singapura is to bridge the gap between the terse technical descriptions of plants found in the various botanical text books and what we observe in the (Singapore) forests. I approach this by using photographs and commentary to illustrate and describe the identifying field characters of the trees and shrubs that from time to time command my attention. There are some 2000 species of native vascular plants in Singapore and so far I have only a modest number of species illustrated, I will add to the content as often as I can. ...
