I honestly didn't rig this to come out this way...but after I added last night's photos we wound up with 99,999 images. I recorded it for posterity (see screenshot below.) When I release photos later today, we will cross into the 100,000+ territory.

Wow! I can remember (four years ago) when we were trying to get to 1,000 images, and then the struggle to reach 10,000 images.

A huge thanks is due to all of you that have shared your photos and information. We hope you'll continue to share, and others will join in!

Speaking of PlantFiles....for those who were reluctant to add your ZIP code because it displayed your name next to the city/state - fear no more. Dave has changed the "regional" area to not display your username next to any ZIP codes you enter for a plant. Now everyone can feel free to submit your ZIP code without fear that someone might mis-use that information to zero in on your exact location (a very real concern, especially for those in smaller towns and cities.)

I hope that will open up the doors to many more of you submitting your ZIP codes for plants, which in turn will help your virtual "neighbors" figure out what plants are good choices for their own gardens.
