Are these just indigenous plants?
Professor Paul Krause
Yes. Looking at garden or introduced plants would be a completely different and extensive topic. Take a look at Peter Valder's two books for this: "Garden Plants in China" and "Gardens in China". This lecture is along the lines of "Guide to the Flowers of Western China" by Grey-Wilson and Cribb. Personally, I much prefer browsing through these books rather than watching lectures, and they are far more informative - which is fundamentally why i stopped working on the videos!

So far he is really boring!
Professor Paul Krause
Yes, my apologies! This was an experiment that really didn't work for me. If you paid for this course you should be able to get your money back. Unfortunately these providers don't like you to take courses down so I'm kind of stuck with occasional hits of negative feedback when I would really, really like to duck out of the whole experience...
