It's about that time of year again!

When you are wandering your gardens and collecting seeds, be sure to take your camera with you and capture a few shots for the GardenHere site seed identification area here on GH.

The photos may be placed in the Propagation Seeds gallery when identified.

You can see here how I used a few cosmos bloom & seed photos for plant & seed identification. Bright Lights

Having these images can be a real help, especially if you are trying to identify a mystery seed or just posting a plant id for an interesting plant. Anyone can post the photos in the gallery for others to use.

Feel free to add those photos to the plant ID area too! Nothing would be greater for that area than a photo of the plant or flower, a photo of the seed and the seed pod -- if possible and a seedling if you care to share that!

Thanks for starting this Dizzy! Great idea!
