I see your work as a valuable resource and appreciate the effort. Kindly send
me a copy.
I'm always willing to load another's wagon and find myself hoping you someday
scan the photos and coordinate them with your reference. This would be an
invaluable resource.
I find myself smilin' more each time someone parrots conventional wisdom
concerning using photos in the identification process. Until inexpensive DNA
profiles/comparisom test for each Cultivar can be cataloged and made
available, there exists no better place to start an identity search.
Thanks in advance for the good work and your willingness to share it.
Smiles,
