I and Ivydene Horticultural Services are requesting the donation of the following colour photographs of plants for display in this section:-

 

  • Inflorescence - to show the shape and colour of the whole flower.
  • Leaf Blade - to show the shape of the leaf and its colour. If its colour changes in the year, then a picture of each changed colour.
  • Form - to show the natural shape/growth habit of the whole plant. If the plant is deciduous, then one with foliage and one without.
  • Seed - to show the shape and colour of the whole seed produced after it has flowered.
  • Flower Bed - to show the overall effect of a group of grasses together, preferably with the names of each of the plants displayed.

Each main photograph will be displayed in a 150 x 150 pixels graphic item. Each thumbnail photograph will be displayed in 50 x 50 pixels graphic item. Freeway allocates 72 pixels per inch. The photographs require to be in :-

 

  • JPEG Format and can be sent via email (depress the email Chris Garnons-Williams item at the top of this page)
  • 35mm slide or normal photograph to be scanned in (send to Chris Garnons-Williams at 1 Eastmoor Farm Cottages, Moor Street, Rainham, Kent, ME8 8QE England)

Please give the Latin name of the plant and your contact details (It would be preferable that it is either your website or email address rather than your phone number). These will then appear with the relevant photograph with Anti-Spam software round the website or email contact details.

If you happen to be a Nursery, then this link could provide a means for people to get that plant that they require.

Why do so few Ornamental Grass nurseries who supply directly to garden owners in the UK and so few garden owners in the UK donate the use of their Ornamental Grass photos of the inflorescence, foliage, form or seed to this website? Where else can you compare plants by flower colour, foliage colour, form or seed/fruit shape/colour with their soil type, soil moisture, sun aspect and height?
