No. Apparently I did not phrase my question clearly enough. Kindly permit me 
to take another whack at it:

Within the context of discussion of the physical durability and stability of 
information storage and delivery options which might potentially be used for 
documentation of iris registrations, I asked just how jong you thought the 
individual images realistically might be needed for reference. No conventional 
storage medium, with the exception of words, will last into perpetuity-- ask 
Ozymandias-- but an honest answer to this question will define your set of viable 
media options. 

I also raised the question of the utility of small images of large plants for 
documentation, or identification, purposes, which question I think matters.

Cordially,
