We now have a new gallery for bamboo plants! BambooFlora (http://www.bamboocraft.net/bamboo)
It can also be accessed through www.bambooflora.net
We will have sections on the identification, propagation, care and management, pests and more.
We are still arranging the layout and categories for pics.
It is very much a work in progress.
It will be a mammoth task, requiring a conservative estimate of 30,000 photos to represent 1200+ species and their key identification parts, all from various locations around the world.
The first pics in BambooFlora were previously uploaded at Bamboo Arts and Crafts Gallery (http://www.bamboocraft.net/gallery)
They were moved successfully to their new gallery with all records intact.
Now to get on with the show!
We would like to attain for the highest quality photos, while keeping the size K to a minimum. Though we have the max image size set at 300K, it's usually sufficient to have them at no more then 50-100 K.
Bamboo Flora will serve as an archive where we can file and arrange photos for viewing by category, subcategory and featured albums.
Articles and text about the pics will be posted and viewable in the gallery with the photos, or at the forum or website
Though the photos are uploaded and filed in the gallery, it is possible to display them at the forums and webpages throughout the sitePhotos can be shown in various Forum Posts/Threads as in this thread. (http://www.bamboocraft.net/forums/showthread.php?t=923)
Photo Uploads at BambooFlora are initially moderated.
BTW It is also possible to upload pics directly in a post at the forums.
More info forthcoming as we gradually put the pieces together.
We look forward to your ideas, suggestions and participation!
