That's a really cool feature, that I never saw anywhere else.

You make an online game with it: display a photo like Evan's, then flash a plant name.
First person to click the right plant wins an acorn.
Last person loses one to the photographer.
Wrong clicks donate an acorn to the photographer.

Or, the last person and wrong clickers have to sip their beer!

Very cool! I'm with you, Lynn, going to have to rethink the photos I take!

I think this is not only going to give us a new way of taking photos, I think it's also going to give us so much more info concerning how our gardens are planted. What plants well with what is right there in front of us.

This might be the best and most innovative feature we have and certainly one of a kind. Hats off, Dave!

I was playing with this feature and somehow I deleted a box, but the plant name still shows up in the list of plants (Pinkfairies). Now it won't let me add the box back in; I get the message "your box is too big." What am I doing wrong? And it would be nice to be able to edit the name on the box without having to delete it and re-do the box. Or am I missing something?

The only way to edit a box is to delete it and create a new one.

If you get snagged, try hitting the refresh button and let the app load up again and try it again. It won't hurt anything to refresh while you're drawing boxes.
