I'd like to ask Dave to set up a custom database for Peonies. This would include all plants in genus Paeonia. An extremely thorough example of a custom database is
The Daylilies Database. One feature of a custom database is the ability to add customized data-points which allows a customized search.
ex.
Searching Daylilies
The customized data points from
AHS link through
AHS Awards are specific to the Daylilies database.
Here are some
preliminary custom data point ideas, based on information from the
Heartland Peony Society:
Plant Type:
-Herbaceous
-Tree
-Intersectional
Flower Type:
-Single
-Japanese
-Anemone
-Semi-Double
-Double
-Bomb Double
Suggestions please!
