BL3105 Leaf Project - Welcome to the blog!

If you are reading this blog, then most likely you have found the link through the QR-code on the pages of my plant press or through the link behind.

This is the blog that further explains the details for the plants if there isn't enough space on the pages of the booklet. It also has the expanded version of the taxonomic key. Pretty much everything in the book and maybe more is available on this blog.

To Mr Lee Siak Cheong, thank you for taking the time of to view this blog.
