I never liked the look of the trade and cultivar names together even though I know that is the standard of how they are listed in other databases. (it's ugly, IMHO) Glare
Anyway, one thing I was hoping can be added though is also the text box named Trade Name to show just beneath the Cultivar name box. For instance, in this entry, this Physocarpus is named 'Seward' and someone coming into the entry may wonder why the name 'Summer WIne' is listed as well. If a Trade Name box was just below that Cultivar box, it would make it clear right away why that name is listed.
Eastern Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius Summer Wine®)
By the way, on some entries, the TM mark is included with the trade name and others it isn't. Should it be a standard across the board one way or the other or does it really matter? I just like consistency. Green Grin! Also, it the registered mark and trade mark considered the same thing?
