Dave,
Hanging Baskets & Planters: There are numerous trade-named combos that are designed by the plant breeder. The plant varieties are chosen for colour combination and plant growth habits. They typically have special name tags for these combos.
For example: Trixi Mix combo: "Blueberry Parfait", which includes a specific variety of Calibrachoa, Bacopa & Verbena. Or Ball Floraplant MixMaster's "Twinkle Toes" Planter combo.
Dummen Red Fox has an entire line of named combos: Confetti Garden. Again 3 different plants sold in one pot
Many seed variety annuals are available as mixes. For example: Dreams Petunia Waterfall mix. This is actually Dreams White, Dreams Sky Blue and Dreams Midnight Blue. There are many other annuals sold as 6 pack plants or seed packs ie Durango Outback Mix Marigold
Since these examples are not an individual variety, it doesn't suit out Plant Database for entering them. Is there a possibility that you can create a way to have these mixes/combos in the data base that links to the individual varieties? Sorta like the member's plant lists that link the plant database info for each variety.
There are a few existing entries in the annuals database that are mixes. I don't want to delete those files, but they are not an individual variety.
What are your thoughts? Typically there are 3 or 4 individual varieties and/or plants in these named mixes and combos
Thanks,
Joanne
