bonjour,

at our new property we'll be moving to soonish, there are a number of plants
that i don't know, & don't know how to find out what they are either! i've
looked at various online resources, but they tend to be either geographic,
OR, based around plant family, or based around recommendations for "plants
for a boggy spot", "plants for a dry, windswept area", you know, that sort
of thing. the books i have are similar & haven't been any help with the
(literally) couple of things i want to identify.

assuming one hasn't the first idea of plant family, native or exotic, or any
of the usual distinctions, how does one go about finding out what soemthing
is, when you know _nothing_ except what it looks like? does anyone know of
any good online photographic resources (say, helpfully divided into
categories like "tree", "shrub" etc? g

or, is my best bet going to be investing in copies of "what tree is that?" &
all of those?

i'm a bit despondent because i suspect that what i need just doesn't exist
:-)

tia for any help.
