I often have wondered why there are so many seemingly duplicitous photos, sometimes by the same poster. Personally, I think a bit of editing would be nice -- how many pics of the same (beautiful) bloom does one need to get the idea of what a plant looks like? I'd personally not be offended if the administrators/moderators declined a photo I submitted that doesn't really add anything to the database, or even if they deleted one I had submitted in favor of a subsequent one that was in better focus or composition. Of course that then requires a judgment call and could lead to some hard feelings. So, a bit of a conundrum. I would encourage posters to check out the existing database and be their own editor before posting a photo, first asking themselves - does it truly add to the database?
And I second the ideas to take and post photos of various stages to the plant's growth - emerging, seeds, leaf, stem, etc. That would be more helpful than a bagillion pretty blossoms.
That said, thanks to everyone for posting their photos -- no bad mojo intended.
