Flora of the Netherlands.

The Netherlands (Holland) does not has a very rich flora as it is a small country without any high altitudes.
On the other hand it does have one of the most well documented flora's in the world.
As I live in the centre of the country It's good opurtunity to go out and photograph the native plants and show them to you.

The species are sorted in the same order as you can find them in the Heukels' flora.
Heukels' flora is the most important book about our native plants but has no photo's at all.
So hereby I will try to illustrate it on Pbase.

This gallery now shows more than 550 different species/varieties.

Greetings! Can you please help me identify a flower I am growing from a seed? I understand from the friend who gave me the seeds that they come from The Netherlands and, typically, are not grown in the US. I could provide a picture of the leaves (the flower has not bloomed yet) and a picture of the seeds. Grateful for whatever information you can provide. Thank you! Peg Helmink, Holland, Michigan USA
