Here is a little contest for the Holidays that myself and Dave came up with. I've met a lot of really nice people on the site and know not all have time to earn enough acorns for the shirt & mug. Well here's your chance. Hope everyone has a great Holiday Season. Dave was kind enough to come up with the rules below.

dave said:Here's how the rules will work: starting now and ending 11:59pm December 10th (UTC) you should post at least one comment to a plant in the database. You can post as many as you want, but you have to post at least one comment to be entered to win.

Maybe pick your favorite plant, or an unusual plant that you think others would like to learn about. Write some interesting facts about it, and why you like it, things like that. Lots of visitors read the comments in the DB and those are probably the most useful things we can do to help new gardeners.

The winner will be drawn on December 11th by me, using a random process. I will put everyone's name into a virtual hat and draw the winning name out. The winner receives 250 acorns from NJBob. He has already given the acorns to me, and I am holding them to give them to the winner. You can spend those acorns to buy a shirt+mug, or keep the acorns to do something else with them!

Have fun!

I'm looking forward to this!! Thank you Bob for the great idea, and the generous offer of giving 250 acorns to the winner!

Great idea, Bob!!
Thank you.

Shoot, I have to wait?

Bob, SUPER idea & a very generous one. Thank you! And you can be sure I'm entering the drawing.

What a great idea. I'll be out of town but I managed to get one in tonight. Just like a lotto ticket, it only takes one to be a big winner.

Great Idea. I am broke from all my daylilies and 50 other bills so I will go do that right now. Thanks you little characters

Great idea Bob!

Well done, Bob.

Wonderful. Everyone needs to be blessed with acorns....
yeeehawwww!!! here I go, maybe I can help someone....

I posted a comment on Flame Acanthus, please include me in the contest, thank you.
Josephine.

Just so you know, you don't have to post anything here. Just making a comment is enough. I'll be running a report that pulls all the names directly out of the database.

So far we have 15 names.

Thanks and good luck everyone I'm glad your enjoying it.

This is fun ... and a great way to get folks to add to the database. It reminded me to go back and comment on the plants I've already entered.

Ok...posted a comment on the Shrimp Plant. Love it...I've added lots of photo's too, but most of them have been imported over from cubits, so didn't get credit for them here. I'm sure there will be more this spring, as the blooms start picking up again

Cool idea. Thanks NJBob and Dave!

Thank you for the info Dave

Thanks, Bob. What a great and generous idea! Do multiple comments increase one's chance of winning?

Here are Dave's rules:
