twitcher said:For offsets, I think you are trying to be too specific. I'd be just happy to see None, rare, "Sparce", Typical, or heavy producer of offsets.

I agree

What do you think of these settings?
Offsets:
None
Rare
Sparse 1 to 5
Typical 6 to 20
Heavy 21 and up

For color, how about best color season (spring has best color or summer has best color). A broad brush is probably better here as environment controls appearance drastically.


Can this be multiple choice? I have some that have spectacular color in more than one season.
Best Color Season:
Spring
Summer
Fall
Winter

twitcher said:Maximum or Typical?? Sizes: Tiny(1/2" or less), Small, Medium, Large and xtralarge(6-8") - I often see someone labeling a sized semp but disagree with the size because I have seen it larger, so it might be of interest to note the type of environment when ranking size - grown as a singleton or grown as a colony. Colony size will be substantially smaller than singleton size.


Could we have a mouse over that quotes twit's above statement?
Grown as a singleton can produce a larger rosette. Colony size will be substantially smaller than singleton size.
