msubees Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 "Cultivar in home garden" -- a bit confused since I thought cultivars are posted separately....but this is under wildflowers. It would be nice to see all plants listed together by families here, but with cultivars flagged or something. that way we can find all plants in the same family/genus together... Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 You are correct - this should be in cultivars.I have planned to place links in the wildflower section to point to cultivated varieties.A couple of them have got done, but seems like I'm always behind schedule on these things.

Andrea B. Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Got this one moved today !! Left a Link in Brassicaceae/Brassica to here. Link to comment
msubees Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thank you, Andrea! I still do not understand the logic of separating the two. I understand cultivar might be in limbo in terms of their species....but the current linking is nice too! it is a lot of work for you two though. Link to comment
msubees Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 this is almost the same as what I saw for one Chinese cabbage variety in my garden...Interesting to see it has a lot of variations depending on a variety/cultivar. Link to comment
