Title: Flora Information
Post by: Clinto on December 29, 2015, 09:44:35 PM
Hi all,
Does anyone know of any good sources for Flora Identification? Books, websites etc it doesn't really matter.
Must be specific to Australia, and if it details typical flowering times / locations etc that would be a bonus.
Also is there any good sources of information on flora pollen quality etc for bees?
Cheers,
Clint

There are lots of good books. I suggest try a library or a university library.

This site is great for me as I back onto Tewantin National Park  but it may give you some information by looking up the plants
