[ensembl-dev] Stock images of plant species in public domain

[Paul Kersey]

Hi Sam

we don't have a private image collection of our own, I'm afraid.  We use images in the public domain and/or get explicit permission from the images' owners to use and attribute their images.  As you will have noticed, these are mostly low resolution.

best wishes,

Paul

I can find images for each species online, but I'm constantly frustrated by the fact that better quality images are not in the public domain.
