- http://www.rootgrafix.com/herbalnexus/photos.htm - Confusingly, the site says: "Unless otherwise noted, photos at this site have been taken by Diann. Diann's photos are public domain ~~ use them as you see fit for any non-commercial purposes." IMHO, this means the photos are in the public domain, and the "use them as you see fit" clause is a non-binding suggestion for use.
