    PlantWire.com - A Flickr Flower Garden

    Gardening gets the 2.0 treatment with PlantWire.

    The site uses publicly licensed Flickr photos to identify flowers and plants. Currently, their floral database contains over 300 plants and over 6000 images. Plants can be searched for by tags, colors (using the ever so handy color pixel grid), and by name, using the search bar. The site uses both common, vernacular names alongside scientific names picked for the USDA GRIN Taxonomy database. For every entry, you’ll find a description about the plant, its cultivation, growth, and propagation methods. Ideal temperatures along with matching flowers are listed within each information box as well. PlantWire aims to have more features up and running soon.

    Plantwire.com In their own words

    “We provide information on many of the world's most beautiful, interesting, and important plants. You can search by plant name, flower color, or by tags. Our database now includes over 300 plants and is growing quickly. We provide general descriptive information, flower colors, and basic instructions on how to grow and propagate each plant. More than 6000 images are included.”

    Why Plantwire.com might be a killer

    PlantWire has a very elegant, streamlined design. It’s extremely easy to find plants; the information is presented clearly in a very easy to read manner. The site itself isn’t cluttered with any adds and is in fact immaculate in its presentation. It’s quite promising.
