Hi Toni,
You might be talking about the pictures that go with the ideas that are posted to the right on your home page, is that it?? Those pictures are posted within the articles/ideas and if you have an idea or even a longer article , you are welcome to submit it here in "Ideas" :

Same with the banners across the top but I gave you that link up above, I think.
I noticed you posted a multiple plant photo already and you did fine with that. You can also link the plants in your multi photo with the same plants in the database. When you get to that point, just ask.
When you go to the plant database in order to post specific pictures you need to post the specific name into the search line, as in river birch trees. I'd go into the plant database and key in ' river birch ' (no quotes marks, though) in the search line, then search, and the page should come up showing several plants with the word river or birch in them. Look again for river birch and it should be there though you might have to scroll to find it. Click on it when found and it will take you to a page of descriptions for the plant then scroll down and you should see in blue directions to add your picture, from there you just do what it asks you to do. Or, you can do the same thing with the botanical name, probably even faster.
Once you post a new picture to the DB, then since you are new, the first 10 that you post will probably need to be approved for accuracy. but the DB administrators are great and will let you know when it is approved. Once approved it will show on the home page on the left side.
Don't get frustrated, I think you'll do just fine. And you can always click on anybody's name and have the option of sending that person a Tmail if you have a question. We all were new members at one time, and in a very short time you'll be able to find your way around quickly.
Promise it will get much easier!
