Okay, now I see what you guys are missing
Ignore all the back-and-forth we did today and take a look at the idea written out right here:
We, as a group, will get together and go through the same process we always do for our projects...suggesting plants and either giving them a chance to be included in the poll or putting it on the side for whatever reason. So far, that's exactly what we always do.
Now for the changes:
We will not choose just ten plants for one final poll in which we all choose a plant based on what we know about it...we will look for three groups of ten plants. There would be (ten) warm, (ten) intermediate and (ten) cool. I put the (ten) in parentheses because earlier I suggested five for each category but I would like to change that to ten. My thinking is this...to make it more of a mystery, we will all know which ten plants make it to the semi-finals...I will pick just five out of each category and those five will go into each of their designated polls.
We can suggest and discuss either species or hybrids for any of the categories.
*No more than two of any genus will be accepted in the semi-finals.
As for size, if the majority of the group involved in the discussions all agree that a plant we are looking at which happens to be a little larger than we usually choose should go into the semi-finals, then it goes into the group of ten from which I will choose the poll plants.
I will have a spreadsheet identifying each plant by number, as I did in the Neo projects, but there will be no photos. You would be choosing what could be any of the ten chosen plants except that you won't know which five are really there.
Does that clear anything up?
