The Arboretum at UC
Santa Cruz -- by far the single greatest source of new
plant introductions to the California nursery industry and
gardening scene for the last twenty years. They have the largest
and best collection of Australian plants outside of Australia
(and what would be one of the best inside Australia as
well). We are proud to offer a large number of their
introductions. Also check out their Edward D. Landels New Zealand
Garden, their excellent collection of Proteaceae and other
plants from South Africa, their California native plant display,
and their very interesting and important collection of early
Angiosperms. Besides being one of the most spectacular
assemblages of flowering plants, these collections together tell
the interesting story of plant evolution as influenced by plate
tectonics.
The Australian National Botanic
Gardens is an excellent resource for information on
Australian plants and their culture. As might be expected, they
probably have the most extensive collection of Australian plants
in the world.
The Society for Growing Australian Plants is another great resource for lovers of Australian plants. If you are looking for in-depth discussion of specific varieties, or detailed cultural/biogeographical information, be sure to check here.

Ferns
of the Canberra Region is a nice look at a number of
Australian ferns. This site is obviously the result of time and
dedication by a couple of people who just really like ferns.
Also, check out the imaging links there if you have any interest
in digital imaging.
