I went through the list of incomplete plant pages and picked out the ones with a color in their 'Cultivar' name. And in honor of Halloween this list includes the colors BLACK, ORANGE, GOLD, YELLOW. If you see a plant that you can help us out with then make like a Bat and 'fly' right over to their plant page and stir up some 'magic' with your cauldron...I mean keyboard. These pages look like 'skeletons' and without your help they don't have a 'ghost' of a chance of ever being indexed. BLACK--- Centaurea montana 'Black Sprite' (Bachelor's Button) Solanum melongena 'Black Beauty' (Eggplant, Aubergine) Nemophila menziesii 'Penny Black' ORANGE/YELLOW/GOLD--- Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Oranges and Lemons' Lonicera nitida 'Baggesen's Gold' (Golden Boxleaf Honeysuckle) Achillea filipendulina 'Gold Plate' Cucumis melo 'Sierra Gold' (Cantaloupe) Thanks for your help, Witchy-Poo
I found a pic in my albums for that Nemophila... but I don't know how to move it to the plant profile. I think I have to find it at home on my computer...(I'm at work now). Or can someone manage to copy it somehow??? THe link http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/pho ... 0362wnbpcW
Click on the blue link to the plant page, to the right of where the photo will be are the words "Upload a New Image" with a green arrow pointing up... click on that and follow the instructions. Because the photo has to be the property of the person uploading it no one else can do it for you. But the instructions are very easy to follow.] After you upload the photo, it has to be approved by either Frank or me, then it will show up on the plant page.
Amberpep, that would be Rudbeckia hirta (Black-Eyed Susan, Gloriosa Daisy) whose plant page already has information and photos. But if you have photos of this plant please upload them too. The plants listed are the black plants whose plant pages need more info and photos.
Hi Toni .... Unfortunately, I'm too technologically challenged to be able to do that. I have a small camera, but with no "card" (whatever that is) that I understand you need to put a picture on the computer. And, the battery is dead on it also. I don't have any because I just have a small deck and they tend to grow best in gardens. They're all over the roadsides here in MD in summer. They grow on a tall stalk, the petals are yellow (daisy like) and the center is about 1/2" across, rounded, and black ... thus the name "black eyed susan." They really a pretty flower, but unfortunately so common around here that I don't think folks appreciate them as much as they should. abby
They are native to almost every state in the lower 48. We have fields of them along the highways all Summer and into the Fall. The mass of them is just gorgeous. You should be able to grow some in a pot as long as it has at least 6 hours of sun a day.
member18439 (Abby)--If your camera isn't cooperative & doesn't allow you to upload photos, you can still comment on the plant pages if you have experience with any of the plants. I appreciate reading other gardeners' comments because they are typically very helpful and not what one would find the plant catalogs.
Kiasmum, the list of plants here are ones that need either additional information or photos on their plant page. I chose these because it was around Halloween that year so the colors were appropriate. The Calendula officinalis (Pot Marigold, English Marigold) plant page has lots of information but if you have any comments or photos to add please feel free.
