Try plantgeek.com or tropica.com. Although I'm sure there's plenty of people around here that have pictures.

I found a Google was very helpful when I was looking for some info on plants.

Also try some of the online plant sales as well.

Hi,
There are several sites that show specific plants in
color. I would go to this site:
http://www.tropica.com/default.asp

If you know the scientific name for the plant you wish
to view, select it from the alphabetical list on the right
side.

If you are curious what would thrive in your specific tank,
then click on the "Advanced Search" link at the top of the
page, fill in as many of the blanks as possible, and
then hit "search." The results of the search, the plants
most likely to thrive in your specific tank, will be
listed on the right side.

Now, the work starts, look them up, one at a time, and you
will see what each plant looks like.

When filling in the blanks for the search -
You will need to know the pH, and GH, of the tank.
You will need to convert the height of the tank to cm.
You will need to know the temperature of the tank in
degrees C.
You will need to know your relative light strength (low,medium,high).

If you fill out the lower portion, you will get plants from
all over as the result of the search. If you want to stick
to a biotope type tank, then fill in the upper portions to
limit the selection. For instance entering ASIA will give
you plants only from Asia.

Hope this helps...
Frank
