Well I think this is where the comments section comes in handy. Would be nice if people would post how a plant does for them and their growing conditions if they deviate from the standard. For example
"I grow ABC plant in my zone 6 yard, it is in shade until around noon and full sun after that and my soil is well draining. The scapes are thin and sometimes flop or break off at the base if I don't stake them".

In my garden if I don't plant Webster's Pink Wonder, Moonlight Orchid and Yellow Mammoth in a sheltered location, the wind will break off the petals. I found they do best on the east side of my house where they are sheltered and have sun on them first thing every day.

I think a pic is worth a million words too, way too many pics in the data base of blooms up close, but not as many of the clump-the branching, leaf habits, bud count, scapes ect. I too am guilty of snapping pics of a pretty face, do not usually think to take pics of the clump itself or to add comments.
