Ep.37 Identifying Plant Families w/ Flowers - Thomas J. Elpel (Botany In A Day, Wildflowers & Weeds, Green University)

Thomas J. Elpel is a personal hero of mine - I've learnt so much from his resources, both before I began my formal training and then again during my plant identification unit during Tafe. In this episode, I'm so excited to introduce all of you to the work he's best known for, which is identifying plant families using flower patterns. Make sure you check out his links so that you can experience what I've experienced!
