Why don't you add your plant data to the Wiki now. Text information will work 
fine.
Miekal has alread created a location for us to start adding all sorts of 
plant information,
graphics too. You can upload pics to us via ftp and I will put them into the 
Wiki in the
appropriate places.
Here's a place to start:
http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/pcwiki/index.php/Plants
You can create subset pages with specialized information you want online,
i.e. ground cover, deciduous shrubs, broadleafed evergreens, etc. Just creat 
a link (a Wiki link)
in your text in this format: [Evergreens], then subsets: [Broadleafed], 
[Needleleafed] and so on.
