Could include for us species nuts, country of origin, synonyms.

If you guys want to play with the OCD system, go to UserCP (top forum menu) and first options on the left will be Manage and Add Orchid...try it out.

Thanks Marty! I'm going to go play with it right away! I was wondering what the heck OCD was in the forum menu, and I guess it's a fitting name seeing how orchid nuts most of us are!

Everything seems to work except the URL linking. It won't accept link uploads. Just deletes the whole file.

One little thing about the OCD---there is no way to specify the fact that your orchids spend the summer outdoors and the winter in the GH. The choice is either/or.
Mine also spend the summer in distinct areas. Some on the plant table, some on the east-facing line, some on the north-facing line and some on the south-facing line. This area of the OCD needs to be something you fill in not choose. JMHO

I really like it so far. Yes there are a few limitations (I would love to be able to click on the photo to enlarge it for viewing but I bet that would take up a lot of bandwidth).

It is actually more user friendly than my Numbers (Apple Program) spreadsheet, but not as good as MS Excel. Since I use Mac at home, this is the best free option. Thanks Marty!

I'll have to check the uploading from a URL....btw, click on the icon next to the photo camera that resembles the list of orchids . That functionality now is linked to the OCD.
