Confused I admit that it doesn't take much to confuse me as I get older and I'm technically challenged to boot. Please forgive me if I've asked this before (because I may very well have and just forgot) *Blush* but I'm wondering if others have confusion at times when it comes to the terms "Parent Plant Entry" and "Generic Plant Entry"?

I'm wondering why some plants in the database have Parent Plant Entries, some plants have Generic Plant Entries and some have Both, and at some of the parent plant entries there seems to be "General Plant Information" listed about the plant (i.e. common names, sun requirements, etc.):
Hibiscus
Daylilies (Hemerocallis)
Caladiums (Caladium)

While at others, such as the Parent Plant Entry for Adeniums (Adenium) there is no "General Plant Information" and no option to enter information. Confused Am I missing something?

... ok, I'm going to go water some plants now. Green Grin!
