I think it's unlikely that you will find a free graphic to copy without stealing or infringing on copyright laws.

The basic procedure is to convert your own photos or graphics to the smallest .gif acceptable for appearence and then use a wysiwyg editor to tile it for your web page.

Your site will have a lot more credibility if you do this yourself rather than posting other peoples photos.

I'm most interested to hear about your proposed project. Are you based at Kew Gardens?

How about:-

Here is a link that might be useful: this one?

Wow! that's nice. Do you know who owns the copyright?

Any idea what aroid it is?

Unfortunatly I dont work at Kew or anywhere that impressive. I am an M.Sc. student. I'l post the URL when I have something worth showing.

I just made the tile for you from my photo of my plants, so you can use it if you wish.

If you are an M.SC. student, a good challenge would be for you to identify the aroid. Come back to this this thread and let me know if you really can't work it out :)

Looks like a crop of spuds (potatoes) to me!

I see a vague resemblence, but don't think it is. It's an Amorphophallus, but I'm still trying to find out which one.

Yes, you are right so far Heidi2006.

Potatoes do not have stalks like this:-

Can I have another clue or can someone else help me with this one?

You might get a clue by reading rubbleshop's ther posts, but then it might not be anything Rubbleshop has mentioned, just a suggestion.

I expect a lot of people here don't think they can help you find a background so are no longer reading this post. You could start a new post asking for people to help you identify it.

Probably Amorphophallus paeoniifolius but cannot see the petiole to see if it's warty or smooth. If smooth it might be A. konjac.
