I agree with everyone else ... you may have uploaded only 20 images so far but they are fabulous! I love your bloom photo of Butterfly Bush'Honeycomb' with the Swallowtail and you've gotten some really great shots of leaves too ... and that flower of the Franklin tree is so pretty!
Keep up the good work ... every single entry (image, comment, proposal etc.) just makes the database even better! 
That butterfly shot is one of my faves. And the Franklinia is one of my fave trees. It's bloomed for me 3 years in a row, now. When it first bloomed, I emailed the folks who sold it to me, and they said most ppl who buy it can't even keep one alive for 2 years, let alone get a bloom. I kind of puffed up with pride when I read that.
Now, it's only had one bloom each year, but anything I plant lives in a state of benign neglect. I might add some compost around it this year, but that's about all I do with my plants once they're in the ground (daylilies are becoming an exception to that rule)
You folks sure are good for a girl's ego!
