The Wisdom of Mary Sue.......

There is a problem with the wiki and indeed with any photos
that show a small portion of the plant. I have complained mildly
about this before that often ONLY flower close-ups are not enough to
ID an unknown. It would be nice to have some idea of scale such as a
ruler, a hand or other unit of measure. And it would be nice to see
the entire pant habit. Turns out Homeria has a single stout leaf per
plant and a distinct basal form (Thanks Mike).
Ahhh... but is it a problem of the wiki? or a problem of your expectations?
I consider any website as helpful and useful and wonderful if it can give
me information about a rare or unusual plant. I don't get bothered by a
site because it can't provide everything I want. Generally, instead, I
criticize Google for that. :-)
As someone mentioned earlier... it's amazing how often I'll Google search
something only to be directed to the PBS wiki. And so often I find that PBS
wiki has most of the useful info on that oddball plant.
"There is a problem with the wiki..." No way! Them's fightin words! :-)
After icanhascheezburger.com, the pbs wiki is probably the best. website.
evarrrr!! (not including signa.org and arilsociety.org, which are truly
awesome). Lol.
