[edit] Thank you!

I appreciate the work you've done to improve Hydrangea, and I'm sure your work on the many other articles you've touched has been of fine quality as well. Here is an attractive specimen I found on Commons: that I hope will brighten your day. Peace, — coelacan — 11:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

And I see you're still fairly new, so if you need any advice or anything, feel free to drop by my talk page. Or the WP:help desk if I'm not active. By the way, you might consider uploading your self-made images to the Commons so that people on other-language Wikipedias can find and use them easily. See Commons:Welcome for an intro.

I was just doing checking on some of the new articles and there was one for Priscilla Susan Bury. I did some checking and it looks legit, lots of information and in many languages as well... but I can't help thinking that there should be more to this article other then stubbing it. Just wondering what you think because I am not a botanist but you might know someone who would expand on this article.--Pmedema (talk) 18:40, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WP:PLANTS!

Thought you might also want to check out WP:BANKSIA. May not be your thing, but there's a good group of editors over there that can always use a hand. Just another suggestion. I'd join, but being in the USA makes it difficult to obtain sources on Australian plants, especially in journals like Nuytsia, etc. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

[edit] Whats this flower?

Hi. Saw your name on the WikiProject flowers page which says that you are a horticulturist and thought you might help. What is this flower? --soum (0_o) 04:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I dont need a species-level ID. The common name was enough for me. Thanks a lot. --soum (0_o) 06:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment

... at the Banksia epica feature article discussion was removed. The discussion had closed and we leave those pages as is. I put the comment on the talk page of the (now Feature) article where the editors will see it. Hesperian was the main editor, you should introduce yourself. Keep up the good work with the flora contributions. Regards, Fred 10:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

No need to introduce yourself; many of your edits have come up on my watchlist, especially your distribution maps. Thanks for the comment, and keep up the good work. Hesperian 11:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Noticed you comments about the distribution maps on hesps talk page, If you would like any assistance just ask. Gnangarra 13:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
In case you haven't figured it out already, Gnangarra is the creator of WP:BANKSIA's distribution maps. Hesperian 11:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re:Eucalypts

The point is that it is meaningless to say that a forest tree has a canopy cover of >30%. Any tree has a canopy cover of 100%, simply because the canopy of a single tree occupies the entire canopy area by definition. A forest is defined as having a canopy cover of >30% because the canopy of a stand may occupy far less than the total stand area. As such the comment is both inaccurate and misleading. It actually took me a few minutes to work out what was intended by the comment, since at first I assumed it was referring to PFC. The notion of referring to actual canopy cover of an individual tree simply didn't cross my mind because it is a physical impossiblilty. You simply can't define a tree by its canopy area.

If you want to say that forest trees grow in forests, and forests are defined as having X canopy cover then by all means do so, though it seems redundant and it is simpler and clearer to link to the articles on what defines a froest and a woodland as I have done.

I have no idea what Brooker and Kleinig may have written, though I suspect that you have paraphrased them and as such lost both the accuracy and utility of the statement. What exactly does the original text say?

Cheers,

Ethel Aardvark

[edit] Fuchsia boliviana

OK. I appreciate that your article is a constructive contribution to the encyclopedia, but ideally before saving the article, you should use the "show preview" button several times until you have created a version that is adequately referenced - then you should save it, to avoid these tags being placed. That's what I do if I'm creating a new article. Thanks.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 11:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
