Apart from Latin name and colour (if no photo) what sort of info do people
think most important in a plant catalogue. I know it needs to be
informative but not too wordy, IMO!

Hi Sacha, I think it really depends on the type of gardener looking
for info, in my case I would want something simple and at my level of
knowledge. In say your own case, you would want something much more
informative and in depth, perhaps?

It's our own catalogue I'm thinking of, Judith. We want to keep it simple
to start with but as the plants we're going to sell via mail order will only
be the more rare and unusual ones, it would be interesting to have an
overall idea of what people look for in terms of information.

Aah, at last you are going to do mail order, I would love to seethe
catalogue when it is ready. I find when looking at catalogues that
the picture is usually too small and it doesn't give me a real idea of
what the plant is like. i.e. a pic may just show one small flower up
close and not enough detail of the entire plant - just a thought.
Good luck with the mail order.
