woofie said: I agree And my feeling is that we don't want to just show pretty pictures, but to provide as much comprehensive information on any given plant as we can pull together. But then, I'm greedy. I want it all. And I want it all in one place. Right here! Hilarious!


This. Thumbs up

Glad to see that y'all think that way, too. Case in point, last fall I planted some big leaf magnolias from my favorite semi-local native nursery. Basically, I planted a stick with a terminal bud on the top of it, kind of like a 3ft spear when you look at it. This spring, the terminal bud was brownish-black, and that scared me. BUT the bud leafed out, just like it's supposed to. I've been taking pictures of it every few days cause nature just astounds me, but have questioned the wisdom/virtue of adding said pics to the DB.

Maybe I will (if I haven't already), for the very reason Woofie and the rest of you have given here.

Now, when it comes to daylilies, the more bloom pictures the better, because they have different colors based on the growing conditions (or so I've gathered, still being a DL novice). But it would be nice if the folks would caption the photos to give that info. I think I'll go suggest that in the DL forum.

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
