Well, I have been asking donors to send me photos of the
parent plants. I add them to the online version of the
Seed Ex list, turning it into a mini color catalog than
just a list. I only got three respondents this year
though.
Also, some SIGNA members have done a great job of adding
seed photos of true species to the database. This is
intended to help people receiving seeds to doublecheck
them. Once upon a time I was dying to grow Iris
longipetala. Had I known what the seeds were supposed to
look like I mightn't have wasted years growing siberians
by mistake waiting for them to bloom. The species
database itself was born out of that story, actually...
about 11 years ago.
But as for keeping track of specific donations
retrospectively, no, we don't have anything like that.
Maybe we should just post a disclaimer "CAVEAT EMPTOR.
ALL SALES FINAL." lol j/k
