The flower and plant pictures are organized in two ways: for the editor and for the botanist. In the first part the editorial use of the images is stressed. The second shows a list of botanical (latin) names. Gardens and parks are organized by country, type and season. You'll find a list of garden features (like 'borders' and 'fences') as well. Our originals are partly analog partly digital. We can, however, always deliver hi-res digital image files. If you like to narrow your search, you need stairs in baroque gardens for example, click on stairs and the browser address bar shows the keyword. Go back to the list and click on baroque gardens and find the keyword. Then, in the browser addres bar, put both keywords together with a '-' inbetween. You can combine all keywords that way.
Every year the stock is updated. Outdated slides or images that don't keep up with the current quality standard are removed. All rights reserved. No permission for reproduction, including copying or saving of digital image files or text, is granted without prior written authorisation from the author.

INTRODUCTION
This stocklist is about flowers, plants, gardens and parks. You'll find stock photos as well as stories about gardens.

HOW THIS LIST WORKS
Every link brings you to photos truly showing the given subject. It is more precise than a normal search. If the link says stairs it will bring you to pictures where a garden stairway is indeed a subject of the image, and not to pictures of a restaurant called Under the Stairs.
