I've noticed that people are sometimes uploading photos to the database of plants that they have grown from seed that were collected from a particular cultivar. To be the true cultivar, they need to be propagated asexually and not seed grown.

In this example, the seedling is clearly different than the real cultivar but has gotten thumbs and so has taken up the main database photo slot.


This is just the most recent example that I've stumbled across. I've seen this happen in other plant entries also but don't remember which ones at the moment.

It's kind of nice to see what results you may get from planting seeds from different cultivars, but the seedlings can't continue to masquerade as the true cultivars in the database.

Would there be any way for people to add seedling photos to the database and keep them somehow linked to their mother cultivar without adding confusion?

Thanks! Big Grin
