Fiber plants

For thousands of years, the tough stem or leaf fibres of plants such as flax and hemp have been used to make textiles, ropes and paper. Our high-quality photographs of numerous fibre plants are suitable for use in magazines, books, calendars, catalogues and on websites, for example in specialist literature, plant profiles or educational materials from museums and specialist publishers.
