"Philip  says . . ."

Philip is responsible for a growing collection of herbaria sheets.  "Our needs are simple and straightforward - The Compleat Botanica handles everything we need to record.  It's by far the easiest to use".  Philip likes the query ability of the software because he can find records in so many different ways.

Did you know?


Q:  How can I conveniently see my pictures full-sized?

A:  The picture previewer has a button labeled "Front" that lets you keep the picture window on top of all other windows.  Instead of closing and re-opening the previewer for each picture in your collection, you can keep this window open while changing the selected item in the specimen list.  In this way you can poke through your picture collection seeing them full-sized.  See the full story.

Frequently asked questions


Q:
  The Compleat Botanica seems like a real winner but you're missing out on people like me who use Macintosh computers.

A:  The unfortunate reality of software is that it takes enormous amounts of time, talent, and money to develop and support more than one platform.  Only the largest software houses can do this well.  At Crescent Bloom we're continuing to improve the software and it's accompanying Web site to make it even more useful to the very diverse mixture of people whose interests include the plant kingdom.  For now that's where we'll stay focused.
