Re: SBLD - Plants Database (part of Dave's Garden)

i think it's an interesting site, jim. i've created a couple of pages and posted a several photos there. one of the better features is the query system. you can write to anyone who has posted a picture or a comment, but it goes through dave's garden, so you can't access the address of the recipient. all of which means, as a recipient, you don't have to answer messages from cranks or loonies and they can't retaliate by kidnapping your children.

Plants Database (part of Dave's Garden)
http://plantsdatabase.com/

The Plants Database is part of Dave's Garden, which includes a variety
of sub-sites involving plants and gardening.  The Plants Database is
principally images and plant data; it currently contains 12,422 images
and 54,527 plants. Each of the data pages contains a description and a
bulletin board for comment, discussion and commentary, with over
51,000 registered users.  This is an impressive and well managed site.
Each discussion posting needs to be critically evaluated though --
using the discussions there as a primary reference material is not
advised! This site is an interesting model for an open architecture
site with a rapidly increasing number of images. (***) -S
