Well put and a good summary of what I'm suggesting needs to happen to be effective.  

Just in case some are wondering or thinking... this project is not about beauty of an individual flower.  It is about growability and dependabilty.  we are not to judge a flower based on weather we like the flower or not.  You woud have to objective enough to set your preference for one or another color, form, haftiness, space agers, ect. aside.
