We're currently testing ways to organise the gallery to enable groups of species to be found more easily, based on keyword searching.
For instance, by clicking on the link below you can view the gallery entries that have both keywords 'blue'+'flowers'
Blue Flowers
This means that you also get a few rogue results where it may not be a blue flower - however, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a workaround for this.
Basically, we've been wondering what sort of keywords we should use to make searches more efficient. Starting with wildflowers, what would be your main search criteria for identifying a flower.
Colour is an good one, and where we have a bluey+pink flower we can easily make it appear in both pink and blue categories. However, height could give us a few more problems because it will need to be a vague height like 'tiny' or 'small' rather than 5mm or 4cm. Other groups could include habitat, flower type, petal shape and population, but if you've got any other ideas then we'd really like to hear them.
It'll be quite a big job to set up the gallery like this and we're keen to get it right first time, so any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Stuart
