buried deep in the runner up field...

Congratulations on all of your first place wins Lucichar! as well as your many other high placements Your love of photography shines and your body of work submitted in this contest is exceptional Well done!!

This is such a great portrait of a challenging bloom stalk to capture, I hope you will submit it to the database.
Love the detail

Thank you for all your kind words. How do you submit it in the data base?

Hmmm, well first of all we have to figure out which identity you want to submit them under...you seem to have a different username now...

Clucsik is answering for Lucichar in two different threads I see.
Did you log out and log back in again and create a new account or something?

@dave can you help with this?


Once we get it straitened out as far as who you are I'll point you in the direction of the database...

It is lucichar. I changed it when I moved from my iPad to the computer. I changed it back. Sorry for the confusion.

You can add these photos to the database by clicking on the photo to enlarge it, then click on that blue database icon that is directly under the photo window that comes up. Then just follow the screen.

Well okay then I guess as long as you know who you are it's all good

I'm telling you all this 'how to' so that you can add all of your fabulous photos:

At the top of the screen you'll find a menu bar, it has the Plants Database, with a drop down, click on the database or search by name, then enter the plant's name in the search bar.
If you don't know the plant's name you can enter a common name and search that way.

this one looks like an Acanthus or bear's breeches
here's what the search looks like
https://garden.org/plants/sear...
you'll have to figure out which one it is. I'd guess spinosus? but only you can know what you have.

(if you can't identify your plants you can post pics to the plant ID forum first and knowledgeable people will try to help you out)

Okay, so once you locate the plant in the database, click on the plant and it will bring up it's page. Then find the upload a photo link in blue in the upper left or at the bottom of the page.
click it and upload your photo
easy!

New member's first photo submissions to the database go thru an approval queue for a while, then once you are 'cleared' your photos will post directly

Thank you for the information. I will try it.
