Casual vs. Restorative

I can’t prove that it was a child of this colony that popped up in my woods. This means it’s able to reach “research” grade, despite the fact that the parent colony was planted more casually than my clump of Wild Hyacinth.

Of course. Whichever offspring of a cultivated plant could be considered wild. Especially if the species is spreading in a wild, not managed area. Sometimes findings of new occurrences are not accepted if the new finding happens in a closed private property even if the species could have come from the outside. Maybe here we can be a little bit less strict.

PS: Is wild hyacinth the common name of Camassia scilloides?

PPS: the “restorative” status of a plant could be added among the annotations. This could provide an added value to certain observations of non-wild plants.

I am ready for the thread to end but I’m not sure if I can end it, withdraw it, or allow it to end of it’s own accord… kinda new here… to the forum anyway, not to iNat. Let me know if I’m supposed to end it some way..

Since the thread is “Solved” it isn’t displayed as much, and tells users to reply less. Threads close automatically after two months of last reply (should be visible at bottom). I can close the thread manually, but this usually isn’t necessary.
