Jack, I'm on a personal crusade to defeat the Daylily people. I will admit I'm not a huge Daylily fan. Can't say why, just not that into them. And it just seems like half of the random pictures that pop up when I refresh the page are Daylilies. Another 20% are Irises and the Sempervivum folks are getting up there in numbers, too. I like the Irises a lot, though. I have been trying to take more pictures at MOSI because the bosses are pretty good about making lots of signs for the plants so I know exactly what species they are. We have a native Florida plant called Starry Rosinweed that just bloomed so I added some pictures of that to the database. I'm usually so busy chasing the butterflies or looking for caterpillars that the plants are kind of an afterthought! But I will attempt to do better and fill our database with fabulous photos!

Out of curiosity, does anyone else notice the random plant as much as I do? And when you see the thumbnail, do you try to guess what it is before you open the full picture? I totally play that game. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes one plant looks a lot like another, and sometimes I find out about a plant I've never heard of! So that's fun. Just...less Daylilies, please. Hilarious! Seriously, when we have Daylilies week, I may go on hiatus. Rolling on the floor laughing
