I am interested in all Australian plants (and especially orchids) and learning more about them. I find the minute differences between species confusing, so often get things wrong, but I tjink this database will help me learn more about the local plants and how to distinguish between them. I am also a keen photographer and find that photographing the plants when in flower helps me to remember and identify the species.
