About Brilliant Botany

Brilliant Botany began as a blog in November of 2011. It focused on photographs, plant facts, and plant ID. It has since expanded to include a website, social media presence and, as of 2013, a YouTube series. Brilliant Botany is intended as a resource for anyone interested in plants, and a means for building community. Brilliant Botany's content has been used by teachers, professors, and the general public to build knowledge about the amazing natural world that surrounds us.
