 Just a thought.

Kate,
We have others working on this VERY thing right now!  It is an excellent idea 
and much needed!  It would be nice to tie an entire database to the site ...a 
kind of Silver Book site as has been discussed before.  A place where you 
could go for information and a site for your local newsletter editors to go 
for material to publish locally.  A place where you could go and be able to 
rely on the information that is there. Not everyone has a computer (poor 
things) and the compiled photo collections of many makes a massive BYTE that 
will need more and more space.
Isn't it nice to see photos of plants you are considering for purchase?  A 
line or two in a catalog just isn't the same as a picture! 
As we get better representative photos of plants we will upgrade the site.  
Bob and I will be doing a lot of that this winter.
So....if the auction is the smashing success it appears it will be, the site 
WILL get better, and it is obviously a BIG success now. 15,000+ hits as of 
today.
The team putting on the auction is not planning a big party with any left 
over funds.  The monies DONATED via the auction will go to support the site 
and the expansion of the site. 
So thanks to everyone who has donated plants...it is exciting to think that a 
simple appeal by Bob to think about a "possible auction or fund raiser"  has 
turned into something so positive and exciting!  
Thanks everybody!
