Now if someone created an online plant database searchable by different
criteria as the original poster suggested, how wonderful would that be? So
someone could select a climate type, soil type, degree of exposure to
sunshine, wind etc and whether they want an evergreen or deciduous, growth
habit, flowering etc etc and the software would bring up a list of all
plants matching the criteria - with photos! It could also include extra
information such as care of the plant and even its history etc etc.
Now if it was done along the lines of Wikipedia so plant experts all over
could contribute and benefit also.
It could perhaps be financed by adverts from nurseries etc that sell the
plants looked up. It could also feature adverts for garden centres etc local
to the area the plant is required for.

Now there's a business idea for someone.

If such a thing doesn't already exist I think it will only be a matter of
time...
What is needed is a hybrid between a businessperson, gardener and software
developer!
I'd be up for it? Any other businesspeople/gardeners/developers out there
who would be interested in collaborating on such a project?
