After I have processed the donated photos of a plant (having scanned it in if it is a 35mm slide), then the Flower, Flowers, Foliage and Form Photos of that plant will be added to the relevant Family Page in the relevant Wild Flower Gallery (see Family Pages Table).

Number1(o)Number2 will then change in this Introduction Page and the relevant Wild Flower Gallery Introduction Page. Number1 indicates has Number1 Plant Description Pages with colour photos in that Gallery. Number2 indicates that Family's Page has colour photos for Number2 Plants in that Gallery.

Months later, the Plant Description Page and Comparison Pages in that Wild Flower Gallery will be completed.
Later still, the Index, Habitat Table and Comparison Pages in this Gallery will be completed, before the Number of Wild Flower Plants with Plant Description Pages - Number1 - will be incremented by 1 in the Introduction Page.
