Comments on: Flora to Plants? http://natureblognetwork.com/blog/flora-to-plants/ The Nexus for Every Species of Nature Blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:36:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: Rambling Rob http://natureblognetwork.com/blog/flora-to-plants/comment-page-1/#comment-2213 Rambling Rob Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:02:46 +0000 http://natureblognetwork.com/blog/?p=2254#comment-2213 I like Flora more than Plants, but I can't explain why. A flora is where we go to find out about plants. A region has its own flora. Plants belong in a flora, not in plants. See, I told you I can't explain why. I don't think there are enough Flora blogs to begin breaking them up into smaller categories - this is always the temptation of science to become ever more specialised. Ecosystem? Yes, that would be easier to explore if sub-categorised a bit but I don't know how you'd do it because so many of the blogs seem to cover the diversity of whole ecosystems.
