If ever we have a "special" badge for plant identifier's ... I nominate JRsbugs (Supersleuth Janet from the UK) to be the first to receive such a badge! She has been instrumental in tracking down information and identifying so many plants for us here at ATP! Her relentless efforts at researching and comparing photo's to help come up with the correct ID for so many different plants is much appreciated!

Thank you Janet! Thumbs up Thumbs up Thumbs up

I agree, I've been sending Janet acorns for her efforts but she does deserve a badge, as do some others.

LOL Dave .... most of the time mine are only wild guesses!

Cinda: That sounds like the perfect photo for a Plant Identifier badge!

I'm willing to do it but I need nominations for who deserves the badge.

For sure, JRsBugs and plantladylin. Who else?

Thanks Myriam, I was pleasantly surprised!

It's good to know my efforts are appreciated, but there are others who are also deserving in their own field of expertise.
