@Hazelcrestmikeb & @frankrichards16 you both have great systems. But I don't think I have the time to use either one. I get up early to take pics each day of every bloom. I do this because I need to figure out what crosses to make each day. And because the bees will steal all the pollen! I've tried doing it the night before but I'm awful at predicting which flowers will open the next day so I was making a bunch of tags that were useless. I'm out so early that most of the flowers aren't fully open and some have barely started opening. So most pictures taken during the week are not good. I have more time on the weekends so that's when most of my good pics are taken. Too bad the daylilies don't cooperate by all having perfect blooms only on the weekend!

I take all my pics with my phone and I have no idea how to add metadata to them except by importing them into another app. Way too time consuming for me to do until winter. So I spend most of winter looking back at my pics and trying to figure out the different cultivars by garden position and general color since most of the flowers are only somewhat open. Then I try to find the best pic of each cultivar. Last year was awful for that because it was so rainy/cloudy most of the flowers are barely open or destroyed by the rain. Crossing Fingers! this year isn't so rainy.
