| Would it be possible to have another photo push for emerging growth, now that things are starting to pop out of the ground? When I was first gardening, it was difficult for me to remember what things looked like at that point and I'm sure I weeded a lot of perennials out. My guess is most emerging growth photos would earn an acorn as they are likely the first in that gallery. Just a thought as I watch my Japanese maples all start to unfurl, and welcome the new shoots of perennials poking out of the ground. I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned. |

| I like the idea of finding photos of emerging growth with the caveat that the pictures should be close ups. It would also be nice to know if emerging growth is from a newly seeded plant or one that is returning. (Not sure if there's actually a difference.) Date might come in handy as well. |

| Well, unless something gets moving soon, we'll be way beyond emerging growth photos. It doesn't have to be a contest or promotion, though -- if folks would just snap plants coming out of the ground or trees leafing out and post them to the database, done deal.

| I like the idea of incentivizing or promoting the under-represented areas of the database, as a way to get people to see their plants in a new way, and of course share that perspective in a searchable way. Just as an aside to @Bonehead and @tx_flower_child , I have viewed emerging growth quite differently... like the growth center on a cactus or branching in response to injury or a plant leafing out for the season all of which are interesting as processes and distinct from "spring renewal" or whatever it's called when temperate plants sprout and grow this time of year. So yes, many perspectives are better than one.  |

| @Frenchy21, it would be great if you could add your photos to the database itself, which will preserve it for posterity and be useful information for folks researching particular plants. Open the plant database, locate and open the specific plant, on the left is a box with an option to 'upload photo', then further along you will be asked what gallery this goes to - choose 'emerging growth'. Sorry if this is known info for you, but someone else may benefit from it. And, Baja, I love seeing how different regions' plants wake up! I hope others will take the time to contribute their new growth photos as well. I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned. |

Deb thank you for reminding me to post these to the database - I'll do it soon.  |

Deb those 6 photos are now in the database.  |

| Perfect! I threw you an acorn a piece. Anyone else have some photos they can contribute? If you let me know, I'll toss a nut. I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned. |

Thank you for the acorns Deb! Very kind of you.  |

| I took some pictures earlier but think I probably deleted them. If I find I still have any, I'll post them. I did find an iris rhizome on the ground today. A squirrel 'emerged it' from a pot. |

| This is a great idea, Deb -- things are just barely "emerging" here, I'm going to start photographing ! C/F temp conversion |

| I was able to recover some pictures of emerging growth. Will post them later. I don't want to post any that would duplicate what others might have posted. If it doesn't rain this afternoon I can probably take another picture or two. |

| TX, if you think your photos might be duplicates of what is already in the database, just wait a couple weeks and submit an updated photo. I think it is really helpful to see how plants (particularly perennials that go dormant during the winter) look when they pop out of the ground, both as fresh little nubbins and when they have 6-8" growth to them. At some point, I believe the idea is to have tabs within the database for each gallery so a person can quickly pass by all the bloom portraits and check out foliage, new growth, seed pods, etc. Hoping this is on the drawing board, it's been discussed a number of times and seems to be pretty much set up other than the tabbing.
