No PlantFile link in journals anymore?

I've added numerous plants to my journal today, linking from the "Add this plant to my journal" in the PF entry. When I go back and look at that entry in my journal, there is no link to the PlantFile entry. Didn't there used to be a link in our journals?

There is still a link back to PF when you import, but I've run across a bug from time to time where sometimes there'll be a plant that I import and the link doesn't get made. I've never seen it happen with a whole bunch of plants at once though, usually it'll happen with one or two and the rest will be fine. It's not a completely random bug either, I've gone back later on different days or even months later a couple of times and tried re-importing plants whose link didn't come through right, and it still doesn't work even the second time around.

Well, I've imported between 20 and 30 iris from PlantFiles into my journal today, and as far as I can tell, none of them have PlantFile links.

It must be something with those plants then, I just tried adding a couple plants that I've added to my journal before, one where the link had worked previously and one where it hadn't, and both of them behaved as they had before, the one that gave me a link before still does and the one that didn't still didn't work. So I wonder if it's something about certain individual PF entries that makes the links not work right? And since all yours are in the iris genus maybe there's something wrong with the whole genus--I don't have that many of any one genus so I never noticed a pattern like that before.

Interesting. Perhaps Dave or Terry can explain why this is happening.
