website: Asian Flora

[cohan]

some of you may know this site--
i find it a bit non-intuitive to navigate! i keep ending up at pages i didnt think i'd chosen, BUT  a little perseverance will get you to pages with collections of asian plants, some really interesting things, such as rubus species with all sorts of different foliage, interesting violets, much more...

Cohan,
Maybe I am too impatient but I can't find even a single violet! Would be glad if you'll tell me the route to catch them!

if i can remember..lol
ok--

'enter'
then 'go to asianflora' at top of page
then 'asian plants' in large print at top left of page; this will give you list of images by family

actually last time, i clicked on 'botanical garden' (instead of 'asian plants') then on 'collections'.. and also on 'botanical explorations'..but you will get more pictures the first way, i think

Thanks, cohan, I don't think I'd seen this site before.

There is an occasional news letter you can sign up for with a lot of great articles some in English but most in French I am afraid.

there does seem to be a lot of interesting stuff! i was very interested in the article about the conservatory that was closed, but the plants live on! i think they were selling a book or something on the subject...
i've just scratched the surface on the images of plants...

Cohan, thanks for the information, this is very interesting.
Susan, we should not be afraid of French.....

Cohan, merci de partager cette information, il est très intéressant. Susan, nous ne devrions pas avoir peur du Français.

Great Maggy,

and I confirm : n'ayez pas peur du Francais ni des Français d'ailleurs 

Cedric BASSET, who built this ASIAN FLORA web site is a nice guy, working in the LYON botanical garden, 'Parc de la tête d'or', very very nice place to visit if you come to LYON... you should

Does he know how to make tortiere? The traditional Quebecois meat pie that is so delicious?

I don't know him well enough yet to have discovered such talents as he may have, Rodger  ..... but I'll be sure to find out in due course!
