Many good suggestions in the comments. I don't remember when the categories were decided for this year, but perhaps for next year they could be announced sooner rather than later? That would give folks time to focus on photos during the year that might fit the categories. I'd like to see ferns, seedpods, and foliage plants as categories. Shrubs and trees could easily be separate, although I suppose there is a fine line between tall shrubs v. short trees. And perhaps give dahlias their own to prevent the confusion. Maybe pick a random flower each year to showcase along with the ever popular iris-lily-rose-daylily categories. Poppies or salvias both have lots of variety. Just random thoughts... Sure was fun looking at all the beautiful photos, and looking forward to the voting results.
