I had a chance to take a peek at the iris wiki... and I am wondering if the 
photo sizes could be larger?  I realize it's still in it's infancy and I 
don't know what is planned.
One thing I think the world/public will want, which Dave's Garden already 
has, is larger pictures.  That's something I'll really like about Dave's 
Garden; the public is able to contribute significantly sized pictures and 
they are beautiful!

I feel I must apologize to Paul publically because if I understood an e-mail
he sent me privately Plantsteps is much different than my understanding. Mia
Culpa. I try to be somewhat savy of what is out on the internet. One of the
trends I have seen, is plant sites starting up that want to represent all
plants. When I look at them, I see the same information that is already in
place on Dave's Garden that was simply pirated. It makes me sad that these
sites just take the information from another site and make it seem like they
did the hard work of assembling it. It must drive the authors of Dave's 
Garden
Wild. But it seems the internet is sort of like the wild west and you can do
whatever you want.

I hope people will forgive me for jumping to the conclusion that plantsteps
might be the same. I have a high respect for Daves Garden because he was 
doing
for all plants what the Iris Society should have been doing in the same time
period for Iris. We are Late in coming to the internet, it is not easy for
plant societies to change.
