This is not personal so no offense taken, Christie, at all. There is nothing wrong with showing only two kinds of plants if they happen to be in a garden landscape setting. Your photo, indeed, is very valuable to Amaryllis enthusiasts. I would think the Amaryllis forum provides the best audience for it.

Not too long ago, when I was a new member, I saw a beautiful sunset photo in the landscape photo section. I had just happened to have captured a lovely sunset myself so I uploaded it. Later that day I was informed that my sunset landscape did not belong in the landscape photo section because the feature was dedicated to garden landscapes. I deleted the photo immediately and started to pay close attention to what was being uploaded to the feature and noticed a number of non-compliant photos, in any given week, so I started a thread on the Site Talk forum and took the time to read all previous threads on the subject as well. That helped me understand the feature's purpose.

In the past months, I've been contributing beautiful qualifying photos to the feature so that they can serve as examples of what to upload as well as help new gardeners visualize how plants can complement each other and how color, texture, form, perspective, materials, etc., are used by seasoned gardeners. That's my way of paying it forward; this feature has been so very helpful to me this past couple of years. I'm not a new gardener but relocating to CA and buying a house surrounded by lawn presented a huge challenge.

Best regards to you, Christie. Smiling
