Acorn is the currency being used in All Things Plants. You can earn them by uploading your photos in the correct plant database (Plumeria database for example), or sharing your ideas or adding new plant names in the database.
The microbadges are the little pictures you see just below the member names. This will let other members know what your interests are. For example, I have the plumeria, succulents, roses, and cactus as my interests. Then I submitted some ideas/gardening tips that were published and that's why I got the "bulb" microbadge.
...and by the way we love photos of plants here. So we would love to see photos of your plumeria collections when they are in blooms.
There are different forums in ATP depending on your interests. There is a coop section where you can trade or sell plants (I've never done it) or buy them. So if you want to trade your duplicate plumeria collections you can either post it here in the Plumeria forums or go to the coop. Our Plumeria moderator is Hetty.
You can also create a plant list to show what you have, want to sell or trade. I only use the plant list so I can remember what I have and to remember their names in addition to the physical plant tags on my actual plants.
