ABSTRACT
For a botanist, flowers are categorized according to a taxonomy in which individual species are grouped within a plant family, or genus. I’ll be taking a look at understanding this system of categorization in the context of flower photography later in this book (pages 24–27). Plant identification according to genus and species is certainly important when it comes to understanding flowers, and also marketing photos. But the truth is that two other ways to categorize flowers are more important to me as a photographer than the botanical taxonomy and nomenclature.
