I would be interested to see how many of the plants in ATP's (this name seems friendlier than an 'association') are in our botanical garden. Plus I would like a list for myself as I try to build a modest semp garden of my own. How would you export this list to excel? Or can that be done. I will look around here also to see if there are such instructions. Thanks

Mary, I am no expert in this but I did look to see if it showed a way. I could not see a way to download a complete list from the DB. However I did find I could sort my own list by genre and then "print it" which provides me a chance to cut and paste (Scrape it) to a document as a table and then turn it into a spread sheet. But that would require your putting the specific plants you are interested in into a list as either a Have or Want to do that. Maybe someday Dave will consider a print option from the genre page of the DB.

Marilyn, I am a little ( Hilarious! ) confused about putting together a list. It would be a list of what I have/want to upload to my list here? I have imported some documents that can then be parsed to fields using the "text to column" feature in excel. But I had sort of wanted a list of what we have here. Perhaps Dave will give it some thought. Sighing!

Tree-mail Dave, Mary. I think he is the only one that can answer that question.

I don't want to clutter up the forum with a purely personal request. I was thinking I would like to do a lookup between the list here and our list at the botanical garden to see which ones are in common. Then maybe get a list of plants that might do well here that we won't have. Of the many we planted last year many look doubtful. It is still a little early for some of course but some are actually blooming now. Well, three are. A red, a yellow, and a white. Tiny little fellows. And some don't bloom with flowers, right? Since I have sort of decided next to the peony collection, I want to be part of the rock garden team I would like to help build up our collection. It has been sorely neglected for some years as was the rest of the garden in terms of identifying what is alive and what has died. To assure that the old labels have been verified as valid next to a plant then replacing with our new ones printed by IrisBG the new plant inventory database. Most of that was done last year but I still see some old crumpled tags still out there. You go as fast as you can but stuff starts growing and pretty soon important info is buried in the greenery. A good thing in some ways, not so good in others.

Just a thought Mary, and not my business since I don't know...but I think if you are having this question, other's may too, so you aren't really cluttering up the forum you are adding to it! Thumbs up

Thanks Greg. The answer is a 'commercial' one. There are people out there would do a wholesale dump of the information here, provided over the years by so many people for our mutual education and enjoyment, to set up their own site to charge for. I understand this and actually had that lurking in the back of my mind as a reason they would not allow it. It makes sense and I don't blame them.
