plant collection
Gathered flora specimens
A plant collection is an assemblage of living plants, typically gathered and maintained for purposes of study, conservation, display, or personal enjoyment.
Botanical gardens and arboreta house formal plant collections organized by taxonomy, region, or habitat.
Hobbyists may cultivate specialized collections focused on particular genera like orchids, succulents, or ferns.
