I was under the impression that what you were proposing would target
hobbyists and growers rather than the professional biologist/botanist
community. I would like to have a browsable hypertext CD that includes
photos, brief descriptions in layman's terms of the plant, its habitat
and geographic distribution, and growing info such as light,
temperature, and propagation. Something that would appeal to younger
growers as well as hobbyists - something to capture their imagination.
A lot of us probably got hooked on these plants as kids anyways. I can
almost see the package on the shelf at Babbages...
