Botany Photo of the Day
In science, beauty. In beauty, science. Daily.

Pinus strobus

Pinus strobus

This entry was posted while I was on vacation, hence the brief written accompaniment. -- Daniel

This photo of an eastern white pine near Sioux Narrows, Ontario, was inspired in part by Arthur Lismer's A September Gale (more about “A September Gale”).

Thank you for your wonderful presentations. It provides great relaxing pleasure EACH day in the course of hectic activities. It is a retreat to tune in each day to a new creation in the outside world away from business activities. They also allow me to provide a flower each day to my wife..... Very sincerely appreciated. Keep up the superlative effort.

Artifacts commented:

I find your photos very interesting. The botanical names. I have many photos of flowers that I have taken. Don't know the names of most of them. Is there any way that I can post them on your site. So someone can give me some idea of what they are? Thanks

Hey Artifacts, we certainly do have a place for you to post pictures for plant ID. Take a look at our UBC Botanical Garden Forums and in particular the Plant Identification Forum. You can learn a lot of plants just by reading through the pages of that forum. It is also fun to go through the old posts that have been identified to see if you can ID the plant before you scroll down to the answer. You will not be able to post your own images unless you register for the Forums. It only takes a moment and you will get more out of the experience if registered.

We look forward to having you join us,

Eric La Fountaine (Forums Moderator)
