I would have little reason to upload a photo to my List unless I thought it might be a worthwhile addition to those that already exist in the DB. I do not link the plants in my List to the entries in the DB because I would thereby lose control of how the plant is named in my List, which I find intolerable. For instance, I just added the plant "Allium fistulosum" to my list, and clicked on one of the proposed DB entries. The plant was entered in my list under the name "Scallion ...", not the name I know it by. This is something I simply cannot have. And I do not feel my ability to check out the contents of the DB is at all impeded.

I did not realize that personal Lists were populated with random photos from the DB if the entry was linked to one of the proposed DB items, so ... nevermind, all.

The images in your list, if added to the database, are those of your own (not random photos).

But, the image may change depending on how many you've added to the database. Whichever picture (say you added three to an entry), has the most "thumb ups" is the one that will display in your list. A couple of my pictures in my list entries have changed as the most "liked" picture that I added to the database changed (I have a few plants with multiple pictures).

Of course, there's the option to add a photo that only you see, in your list. I edited one of my plant entries on my list and this is what appears:


Maybe this can be useful for you, so you don't have to add to the database, but you can have a picture of your plant for you own use.

If that's what you meant by your earlier post, my apologies. I've never used that option, so I'm unsure what it looks like.
