Hi all,

This is my first message on this forum. I am presently teaching myself
horticulture (will go on a proper course later in the year) and wanted
to know where could I purchase posters or charts of
flowers/plants/shrubs identification. The one I saw on the net
addressed mostly kids; posters of wild flowers and not garden grown
plants (and flowers, shrubs, etc).
I'd be also happy to be given addresses of sites that have charts and
'posters' (they'd be smaller than A3 obviously to fit on a computer
screen) to download in PDF format or others.


The problem with posters is that they're not portable, and so
aren't much use for identifying plants "in the field" so to speak.
I.e. out of doors.

At a guess, posters aimed at children are educational in a wider
sense, as well as being colourful and stimulting. And so alongside
posters of flowers and maybe trees, you might also find posters
of tigers, elephants, whales or whatever.

In other words they're produced for an entirely different purpose
to what you had in mind.

The only charts you're likely to find are botanical charts or
family trees of the plant species, genera, families, classes
etc, but they're quite complex and not really of much help
with identification.
