Old observations - still useful?

Personally, I wouldn’t. I’m okay with posting the same bird at different times because, well, it’s an animal. More is likely to have changed since I last photographed it. But plants… I wouldn’t post the same individual plant multiple times unless a lot had changed. Multiple observations of the same species are fine, although you should exercise good judgement - e.g. don’t just photograph every single dandelion in your yard and post them as separate observations. But others may disagree with me.
