Perhaps this is a better way...

Post by **daiv** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:01 pm

Ok, I know I haven't added all the pictures that have been sent to me yet, but I was trying to come up with a better way to list the gaps.

So I put together a query that will dynamically update as more pictures are added. A total count in red at the top of the page will let us know how many pictures are yet to go.

The list is alphabetical by genus and includes everything except Echinopsis and Opuntia for the moment:

Thanks again for all who have contributed so far.

Please feel free to comment or post suggestions!

I had to scroll down a startling distance to find the list ... but I found it! Spotted a few species on there that I have, plus a surprising number that would seem to be common in collections.

Ahh! Ok I know you guys don't use IE! I did not test this in another browser and found a bit of code that IE was kind enough to forgive.

It's all better now...

Great Daiv! This should make it easier to get the pics that are needed!

Well I'm happy to annouce that I got all the latest batch of images added today! The missing pic count dropped from 775 to 749. At that rate, we should a have a picture of every species in about 30 weeks! ha ha -I wish! I have a feeling it will get harder and harder to find those images. Perhaps we need to all target various parts of the hemisphere -now who will volunteer to explore the Caribbean and photograph all those species??

If only I had known? I have been there 3 times in the past two years, If I go again I know what I will be doing!

Sounds good Paul -be sure to spend a extra time in Cuba - it is loaded with endemics!

Hi- it might be helpful to know I've sent daiv links to pics for:

Coryphantha robustispina
Cylindropuntia viridiflora
Echinocereus palmeri
Echinomastus erectocentrus, acunensis, johnsonii and lutescens
Escobaria guadalupensis and organensis
Mam. estebanensis
Pedio bradyi and winkleri
Penio johnstonii, macul. and rosei
Sclero parviflorus and whipplei

this is a great project!

Down to 732 thanks to PeterB!

Many more pictures have been added!

149 images from Gunnar, several more from Hob, and one from Piyeron -including 26 new species.

The "missing pic" count is 725, but that is because I started filling in the Echinopsis blanks. Still have more of those to go and Opuntia galore!

Ok, added 18 more species today -thanks to Ian and Sulleyman...lots more to go!

Hi Daiv,
I do appreciate this project! It's incredible. And I think your list of missing plants helps a lot. I just went through it and have to admit that I don't even know the bulk of the names

, not to mention that I could help you further with more pictures.
Good luck with hunting up the rest!
