Virtual tour of Plant biodiversity

Thanks to the Agrovoc Refinement project for it has given me an opportunity to have a virtual tour of the fairer species of nature's creation. Even if I had become a horticulturist as I wished during my childhood days, I wouldn't have been able to grow those many of them. Moreover, for this assignment I don't delve deep into the technical nuances but would be only visiting each of the taxonomic divisions looking for synonyms of common names and scientific names. This makes me feel like a butterfly moving from a bush here and a flower there, lapping up the sweetness of language manifested in the common names of plants.
