I've been listing my plants on the new Beta Trade List system. I have a suggestion that I think would come in handy:

I listed a Brugmansia, and I don't know the cultivar, so I can't link it into PlantFiles.

I do know, however, that it's a Pink Frosted.

If there were a Comments field for plants on the Beta Trade List page, I'd be able to indicate it there; right now, I can't. There is no way for a user to know that I'm offering a Pink Frosted.

Another way a Comments field would help:

I listed Pinecone Ginger, Zingiber zerumbet. The entry provided a link into PlantFiles.

There is no cultivar associated with this plant, so unless the reader follows the link into PlantFiles, he/she wouldn't know that it's a Pinecone Ginger, unless he/she can tell from the Latin name.

If there were a Comments field, I could indicate that the plant is Pinecone (or Shampoo) ginger, and the reader would know right away what type of ginger it is.

Steve,

I agree completely - I will add a comments field soon.

could I also suggest the option to alphabetize the list by member name?

Hmmm, I guess a comments field would let the trader say whether their plant/seed is for trade only or for SASE.
I would like to be able to look up by whether seeds are available for SASE and also when the list was last updated. I don't even bother with the old trade list anymore since so many entries are outdated.
Still loving it here after 1 1/2 years. Looking forward to all of your new features and the growth of my Dave's family.
