I found out not too long ago that you get two acorns instead of one when you upload the first picture of a plant to the database. I thought it was nice, and it's a good incentive to get people to add pictures to plants that don't have them yet.

Recently, I was at USF Botanical Gardens and took pictures of a plant I didn't know. I posted it on the plant ID forum and someone quickly identified it. Then, another user imported the pictures into the database which was fine. But I noticed that even though mine were the first pictures, I only got one acorn for the first photo. I didn't know if this was intentional or not so I thought I'd ask. I would just be afraid of it leading to hard feelings if someone felt like they wanted to upload it first and someone else imported the picture before they got to it. I have more acorns than a squirrel in winter so it was fine, but I just wanted to let you know that the site does that in case that's not what you intended to happen. In case you need to research what happened, the plant was this one: Panama Rose (Rondeletia leucophylla) The thread in the Plant ID forum is here: The thread "(Rondeletia leucophylla); Butterfly attractant at USF Botanical Garden" in Plant ID forum
