I think the owners of the submitted photos can not give themselves thumbs up. So the votes definitely come from other ATP members. This shows the trend, at least for this week is the bright and lovely colors of the daylily and iris photos.
I love them all, but it shows me that I need to get busy posting other types of plant photos, and do a better job of presenting them in the best possible conditions. I hope this thread sets off a deluge of submitted photos of all kinds of plants.
