I received a couple dmails containing wonderful news from Terry today!

First of all, a few additional checkboxes we had requested have been added.

"Plain" is now an option under "Leaf Type"

"Light" "Medium" and "Dark" are now choices under Leaf Color.

You know what this means... We need to go back through all the entries and either add the additional information, or submit an error report requesting that it be added.

Please scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Switch to live view" before you click the red button to submit an error. This makes it so much easier for mystic and Joan to make those changes. It takes them as much time to fix our error reports as it does us to create them, so please help them out by remembering to click "Switch to live view". :o)

Second, the entry for Saintpaulia ionantha has been cleaned up! :o) There were so many pictures of plants that were not S. ionantha. They were beautiful, no doubt, but incorrect for that particular entry. Look how nice it is! http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/738/ We really need a picture of S. ionantha added to this entry! :o)

That leads me to:

My request for everyone

Please, please add your pictures to the PlantFiles. We post pictures here all day long, but very few of us (me, included) add them to the PlantFiles. It is really no different, and no more difficult to add pictures to the PlantFiles than it is to put them in a post. We need everyone's pictures to make the PlantFiles as complete and useful as they can be.

The big, important thing is make sure your picture is of the exact cultivar you're adding it to. You must be certain your plant is correctly identified. If it is, then please post pictures. Post more than one picture if you have it. A close-up shot of a bloom is wonderful, and a picture of the whole plant is very important. A picture is worth a thousand words, and if each entry has several good pictures we can get a really good well-rounded idea of how that plant should look.

Remember, the Gesneriad PlantFiles will only be as good as we make them! :o)
