| Welcome to the plant enthusiast's web site! My name is Bryan and, yes, I am enthusiast when it comes to the plant kingdom. I have a little background education in horticulture, but I'm no expert by any means. An amatuer, possibly. I love to garden. I like to collect many different species and hybrids for my yard. I don't have any theme but diversity and experimentation. The more different plants I can incorporate, the better. I consider myself a geek when it comes to plants. I collect books on plants for my own reference. I love to visit nurseries. I like to take trips to see gardens or open spaces. I love to go hiking just to see what's blooming or what the season has to offer for the senses. I'm all for using native plants for regional gardens and landscapes. With plants, there is always something to learn. The label "plant enthusiast" suits me just fine. Feel free to wander around on my website and drop me a line on the contact page. |

Plants are living things and are almost never static. Landscapes with plants are ever-changing and are always full of surprises from the subtle to the outrageous. |

The plant kingdom offers us food, shelter, and all kinds of materials that we humans and so many other creatures use to survive. Without the plant kingdom, our world could not sustain life as we know it. |

The plant kingdom can fill us with inpiration and awe. Plants offer us infinite scenes on which we can pause, reflect, and take in with the senses. |

There he is, the plant enthusiast himself! This was taken by my travel companion at Lotusland a few years ago. I was writing down the names of the palm species that were being described by our gracious docent, whose elbow you can see on the right edge of the photo. SSSHHH! I might have a quiz later! |
