Man-oh-man it takes forever!!

Salute ! HDD... after a very long time wait LOL

Ditto... like almost two years after submitting them!

Thanks, HDD :) ...and 'onya team!

The process would be alot faster if some people would stop registering every look alike plant in a grex.

It took 6 months for Photos to be published. I'm new to registration and will do as HDD and Lisa mentioned. Register only the best.

I'm just adding to the Tillandsia species, but you folks in the Neo class really have it bad. Maybe if they hired one person full-time to cope with all the Neo registrants?

Gonz its a thankless unpaid job to be the registrar and with no rules in place ...its a nightmare

That's true, HDD, and so is being a webmaster. It's not the registration that takes so much time-- in my experience that part usually gets done within a month. It's when they get passed on to FCBS for posting in the photo index that things tend to back up. I'm sure M. Andreas could use some help. That's a lot of work, when you figure in all of the cross-referencing to different databases, filling out the templates for each one, making a "what's new" page, etc. It's certainly frustrating when you're the one who sent the photo in, but you have to realize this is not a full-time job for anyone, they do have other lives.

If you ask me, everyone benefits when you register only the best cultivars, but I haven't detected any change in philosophy on that score as far as the registry is concerned.
