Many pictures on this website were taken in Colorado's Lory State Park and in Fort Collins Natural Areas. Below are links to pictures taken in several states.  To see pictures taken at several national parks click on the highlighted names:  California -- Lassen Volcanic NP, Death Valley NP,  Joshua Tree NP, Yosemite NP; Colorado -- Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP, Great Sand Dunes NP, Rocky Mountain NP; Maine -- Acadia NP; Montana -- Glacier NP; Nevada -- Great Basin NP: Tennessee -- Great Smokey Mountains NP; Texas -- Big Bend NP; Utah -- Arches NP; Bryce Canyon NP; Canyonlands NP; Washington -- Olympic NP; Wyoming -- Grand Teton NP; Yellowstone NP.  Here are pictures taken at national monuments: Arizona -- Organ Pipe Cactus NM, Sonoran Desert NM; Colorado -- Canyons of the Ancients NM, Colorado NM, Dinosaur NM; New Mexico --  Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks NM; White Sands National Park; Utah --  Dinosaur National Monument, NU, Grand Staircase-Escalante NM; Wyoming -- Devil's Tower NM.  Go to Search by > Locations above to find a great variety of locations.  

There are several ways to access pictures of flowers: by common name, genus, family, color, fruit, and location.   If you know a common name of a flower scroll over 'Search by' and then click on 'common name.'  Or you might use the flower's color to find more information about a flower.  Scroll over 'Search by' and then scroll over 'color' and then click on one of the color choices that is provided.  

If you "Search by family" you can find a list of some families that include aquatics, a list of families that include prostrate plants, etc.  You can also find a list of some families that have as members plants with bilabiate corollas, for example.  

Click on "Glossary" at the top of this page to see comments about and illustrations of important botanical terms.

All of the common family names that are listed that begin with 'A' are found by scrolling over 'A' (to the right of 'Search by' at the top of the page).   When you scroll over 'Acanthus' you can click on it and see members of the Acanthus family.    

When you scroll over 'Cactus' (after scrolling over 'C')  names such as 'Coryphantha' will appear to the right of it.  When you click on 'Coryphantha' you will see flowers in the Coryphantha genus. 

To find the scientific names for Fern families go to 'F' at the top of the home page (listing A-Z family names) and scroll down to 'Fern families.'  To find the scientific names for Lichen families go to 'L' at the top of the home page (listing A-Z family names) and scroll down to 'Lichen families.'  To find the scientific names of Moss families go to 'M' at the top of the page (listing A-Z family names) and scroll down to 'Moss famiies.'

If you click on 'red and pink' under a flower picture you will see pictures of red and pink flowers in one of the following six categories: i) red and pink shrubs, vines, trees, cacti, agave, aquatics; ii) red and pink elongated clusters;  iii) red and pink rounded clusters; iv) red and pink odd-shaped flowers; v) red and pink simple-shaped flowers; and vi) red and pink daisy- and dandelion-like flowers.  Pictures of flowers of other colors are treated in a similar way.   

The Aster family, given its size, is divided into four sub-families that are determined by considering ray and disk flowers -- members of Aster subfamily 1 have no disk flowers, members of Aster subfamily 2 have disk flowers and non-yellow ray flowers, members of Aster subfamily 3 have disk flowers and yellow ray flowers, and members of Aster subfamily 4 have no ray flowers.   I am using Janet Wingate's  good method of determining Aster's subfamilies.  (Given the size of Aster subfamily 3, it is divided into four groups.)  The Mustard, Pea and Rose families, due to their size, are divided into two groups.    
 
Standard conventions are followed when giving the species name for a plant.  The first word in the name refers to the genus and is capitalized.  The sceond word, the species epithet, is not capitalized.  So, for example, "Abies bifolia" names the species and "Abies" names the genus.  "Bifolia" is the species epithet.
