I like seeing a plant in a garden, how it fits in so to speak. When I look up a plant, I don't want to see 5,000 close ups of the blossom. One will be the same as the next. I want to see the whole plant, and if I can see how it fits in with it's neighbors, so much the better. If one picture of a blossom is there, anyone should be able to identify that plant in a landscape shot. I think I added quite a few photos like that. Here's an example, A. tuberosa.
Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
I added a close up of a blossom, some healthy seed pods, one pod destroyed by milkweed bug as well as the bug itself, emergence in spring, but also 2 of them in garden beds. I think the A. Tuberosa is pretty obvious in the beds. Are you saying that I should crop out everything but the A. Tuberosa?
I think a variety of shots like that are valuable.
