I want to hear from others, especially Zuzu, Calif_Sue, and PollyK before I move on this action.
Another side note: the parent plant feature is going to be greatly enhanced soon in several other areas. One such area is moderators. The way the system is currently setup, the moderators are assigned to a genus and that's the end of that. It's a very kludgey system that I've never been happy with. I will be changing this so that I will assign moderators to parent plants. Then all child plants to that plant will be moderated by that moderator.
So, keep that in mind, too.
