dave said:Right now the system is designed around the plant database, so the plant must exist in the DB in order for it to be in your plant list. Now a generic lantana exists in the database, that's no problem, but duplicate additions to your list are ignored. Maybe allowing duplicates of the same plant to be in your list is the right solution (since you can use the "Comments" field to indicate #1, #2, etc.)

Allowing some to add a duplicate should be fine, but have the system warn them that it is a duplicate entry, just in case it was a mistake. Even allowing duplicates would still have the problem of the wrong picture. I would still need to upload my own picture to match each plant, not the generic one in the database.
