The link to community guidelines is broken, so I will do my best. I purchased a Brugmansia two years ago having heard of the properties it contains which are used for nefarious purposes in South America, but soon fell in love with its beauty and aroma. I purchased the year plan of this app last November, but didn't pull it out until this spring, and I am really unhappy with it other than this Community portion. It doesn't very accurately identify plants, has scare information on most of them, and allows uploads to plant galleries which are in-monitored, so they're are numerous pictures under a plant heading which are clearly not that plant. On a bright note, this app did inspire me. I'm currently working on developing an app similar to this one with a desktop/laptob MacOS/Windows Application. My idea is to use GPS corrdinates and 360 degree images of the plants in people's yards and gardens to allow individuals to recreate thier entire yard and plant collection in 3D, charting over time, and including functions for removing or replanting or adding to one's yard, all the data regarding the soil nutrient profile, water runoff habits, shade and sun already in the database as to present you the best way to add new life to old plots. So far, I am still in the development phase, but have been working to make sure the app will remain free and to some degree open source so others can add to and hone the plant database, and then peer edit for accuracy, etc. The best things in life are free, so long as you have the time to see the beauty in them, and the love for them that beauty inspires in you. If anyone has ideas or additions they would like to see in a garden application, let me know by posting with #myeden in it. I would love to hear from other plant lovers what they want to see in a comprehensive gardening app.

Can I plant this directly in the ground? I live in Arkansas and need to know if this will go dormant or do I need to treat this plant as a house plant? Thank you!
