Labels is where we post pictures of flowers on plants with inventory labels.
Several hundred Old newsletters are in this catalog. We dont sell plants until they begin to flower. So customers have to know when plants are in bloom. They subscribe to the newsletter and when plants start blooming I post pictures of the flowers, add comments and send a link to the page. A couple weeks later I add a link from my index page. So those who subscribe get earlier information. Later in the year I include pictures of fruit and fall foliage. When we're transplanting or doing other nursery maintenence tasks, I photograph those things for a newsletter as well. Picture Newsletter #193 An introduction to the picture-newsletter.
