I really love this new feature. Reading all the posts has been enlightening. I will now think differently when doing a mass proposal.
I really did think that this addition: Flowering: Other: Many will repeat bloom if spent blooms are removed. was useful since it did state "Many", instead of "Will". I understand that not all will repeat bloom, but was trying to address that information. But I guess that would be one of those 'fuzzy' areas? So maybe I will go back and add that information to the ones that I know will repeat bloom.

I agree about the acorn issue, one acorn for the mass proposal is good, I know I wouldn't go to all 156 Armeria entries and fill in that information, and love see that the entries are no longer empty of information. Edited changing would to wouldn't, because I don't see myself going to all 156 entries.

I don't think that we can be right on with growing zones, other than what growers, plant societies, those growing them in their gardens, etc., give as a correct growing zone. For instance, sempervivum grow very well for me in my zone 8. But I know there are those that have real difficulties growing them in their zone 8, same goes for zone 9 growers. It all depends on what all the other growing conditions are. Same applies to the lower end of the growing zones, zone 4. When I see growing zones for a plant I see it as a recommendation for hardiness.
