I'd like to be able to search for plants in my list by characteristics. One possible format would offer me a Search by Characteristics option on the home page of my plant list. This would be useful, for instance, if I were thinking of setting up a moon garden and wanted to find all of my existing plants with white blooms.

It would be useful, but too limited for my purposes. A preferable format would add "In my list" to the characteristics I'm searching for in the general plant searches, especially in the case of plants with custom databoxes. If I want to find all of my Ralph Moore roses, for instance, I can now type "Moore" into the hybridizer box of the rose search engine, but it gives me 222 results. I'd rather be able to find only those that are already in my list.

Irises provide another good example. A search for Pacific Coast Irises brings up a myriad of results, but I might only want to know which ones I already have. It's not enough to be able to search through the 250 irises in my list for the Pacific Coast irises because that might not be the common name showing on all of them.
