I agree with all the above, but I see the results, people are constantly asking for more comments but the result is very few people are adding them. That is the whole point! Yes we have a system, yes it is a good system, but no it is not getting the comments added. This is just an attempt I think, to come up with some way of stimulating the participation of people to make comments on plants they grow. There may just not be enough interest for it to happen, but I saw a lot of people perk up and pay attention in the recent threads with comments on specific cultivars. They were some of the most interesting posts I have read lately. It seems everyone needs more info on the plants they are fixing to spend their limited money on . They are so many blooms out there that look almost alike, without comments on performance it is easy to make a wrong choice. Even if there is no other bloom that comes close to the one you just fell in love with, if it only does well after sub zero winters, and you live in Florida, you just made a bad purchase. I looked up every daylily in the database I was interested in, I went down to the comments section checking each of them out, and the great majority nad no comments at all. Now I know "that other gardening site" has had years to accumulate their comments, but we need to do better.
So I am for any ideas that will help stir participation.
