I am trying to earn an acorn for the April raffle by posting a pic in the data base. I am having trouble finding how to post the picture. Can someone instruct me?...I added the plant name but can't seem to find how to upload photo. THANKS

Well, first you go to the database page for the plant. Then, on the left, click "Upload a photo."

In the displayed page, click upload an image and then select a picture from your computer. Once that uploads, you need to select one of the available descriptions of your picture (flower, stem, entire plant, etc.) Then, click "Submit the photo."

That's it! You'll get a message when your photo is accepted, and you'll get an acorn too. If it's the first picture of that plant, then you'll get two acorns.

If you upload a landscape photo, you'll get an acorn too but probably won't get a message.

HTH!

Thanks for the help navigating the site to upload photos! I have done 2 previously but for the life of me couldn't remember how to do it.
I finally added one as a landscape photo - a Trout Lily I came across on a hike I took a couple weeks ago.
I think it is beautiful!

Thanks for everyone's generosity in giving me acorns! Y'all have gone above and beyond!
