I know we can't have too many stickies in a forum and I don't know if this one warrants such a position, but is there a way to make this thread more visible and easily accessible somehow?
Or...maybe better still...
@Dave , is there a way to create something like a separate database with search features that make sense for color comparison photos?
My justification is the numerous people that have made posts or threads looking for daylilies of a particular color, whether they want 'daylilies the same purple as Bela Lugosi' or daylilies that are a particular type of warm yellow. Lighting, camera types, and nearby objects in a picture can all change the look of an individual bloom, so individual plant pictures in the database have to be taken with a grain of salt...
...but when you have points of reference (other daylilies in the picture, especially if they are well-known daylilies), it really makes it much clearer what the true color of a daylily is.
No doubt this would be helpful for other plants, too.
Can we work on setting up a 'comparison photos' section in our database with search features that will be more pertinent /accurate to comparison photos? (I.e. a search feature that takes you directly to the post/picture and doesn't require sorting through an entire thread; also, maybe one that has a search for "post must include the following:") It could work like the multi-plant images with tagging, but I don't see the multi-plant database as being the appropriate place to put these pictures. ...I really feel that the color comparison photos are their own beast with their own set of relevant search options.
Thoughts?
