Please, Travis, keep them coming.
Work such as yours might one day, as the data accumulate, provide insights into the ways pollinators influence plant speciation. Reproductive barriers among so many plants are so weak that I've started to wonder if the genera of the  majority of insect pollinated plants are  not in fact an approximation of the true species, and what taxonomists call species are in fact local expressions of that true species  as filtered through the activities of local pollinators.  Your work might shed light on this.
