50,000 Photos

From: pugturd at alltel.net (Brian Williams) on 2008.01.10 at 00:19:25(16938) I have for the last 13 years been taking tons of photos of my plants as well as plants I have seen on my travels. As the number of photos have grown I had to make a folder system to ID and place all the plant photos and pictures into groups. I have been cleaning up the folder and though not all of them are labeled with species names most are in the correct family folder and hopefully the right groups. I have now started weeding out older and less attractive pictures and picking the nicest photos to be uploaded to a new account on www.flickr.com I plan to build a nice data base full of odd aroids and other plant species. At the moment I am working on any plant I feel compelled to put up. If their are certain species or a certain aroid group you would be interested in seeing send me a email and I will see about getting it up. Please do not tell me to post all philodendrons their are a few thousand photos and many without IDs in that folder. I can select certain species from that group and post but uploading and working on the entire folder would be far to much at the moment. +More I have watermarked the photos and do not want them to be used with out my permission. I would give the aroid society full use of the photos if they are interested in using them. I am currently uploading hybrid cannas I have breed and a few aroids. I feel this will be a long term project and I hope to work on it for the remainder of the winter months. As I add more photos your welcome to place corrections on IDs if needed and add comments to the photos. I have just started to post the photos so their should be more to look at in the near future. http://www.flickr.com/photos/15931937 at N07/

I've just started growing a few Cannas, never had them before, so it was nice to look at all your new hybrids, they look wonderful, nice leaves too. Right now I have a baby I moved into the greenhouse, I think it might be indica, it's blooming and looks pretty cute. Did you realize your watermarks could be easily cropped from your photos, as they are on the bottom and the blooms are in the middle of the photo? Don't know if you care about that or not.... If you have any Zantedeschia photos I'd like to see them, by now everyone knows they are a passion of mine... lol The only Aroid I can get to grow on a consistent basis, in fact every time I type "Aroid" I can hear Home saying "Very rare, Susan, don't kill!" and Scott snickering.
