I would like to start a Lexicon thread which has different parts to it. The first part is Flowers A-Z. After that we will go onto Trees, Herbs etc I will start it off with the letter A and a Common Name followed by the Botanical Name of the Plant and post a photo. The next person starts with the Letter B and so on. There is no problem should we get a couple of postings with the same letter. A photo must be posted and in Photobucket one can also upload from a Web Url which is very quick and then post on the board. ******************************** Alum Root - Heucheras  RF |
