|
|
| I would like to find out what all those different plants growing in my lawn are. Can someone recommend a good book or web site that has color photos of weeds that I can use for identification? |

| Ok, maybe that was too much to ask. Is there ANY resource that can be used to identify weeds or is this information that people are just born with and I am missing that gene :?: |

Try this one: www.wildflower.org
I have found quite a few there; it's the wildflower center.
I've had luck there.

| Howards new book has a whole section on Texas weeds. Pictures, problems, and how to control. |

Thanks for the help everybody. I think I'll buy Howard's new book, I don't have any organic gardening books yet. I just decided to go organic about a month ago.
I have lived in Austin for three years and I have never visited the Wildflower Center :oops: I'll be sure to check it out this year. |

Kathe... thanks... Great site!! And, from there, a flower selection can lead one here: http://www.itis.usda.gov/
At that site, one can select the Google Image link at the top of the page and see all the possible permutations. I wish a few of had this last summer as we were trying figure out what that d@mn aster "weed" was that was creeping in our lawns ! :wink: |
