Well, I've been working for quite a while on this and I'm ready for you all to check out the beginnings of my work.
Take a look at the main plant entry for Crepe Myrtle:
Crepe Myrtles (Lagerstroemia)
You will see I have an introduction and a "Propagation Methods" area. I can add as many sections like this as I want.
Then on the right is a random assortment of some cultivars of this plant. Refresh the page to see it change to other random cultivars.
We will do this kind of thing for as many plants as we like. Moderators of various plant types: if there is a plant type already created for your genus, you should be able to access this by going to that plant and at the bottom, click on "ยป Edit infoboxes".
This is just a start, but I think it's a good start.
