A crescent. What criteria took you to the possible species "Field"? Geography would have to be one; where is it?

As it says behind my name I am in zone five, Indiana. I’m in the central part. I looked it up in my butterfly book and this was the closest I could find that looks like the field Variety of Crescent.

Behind your name it says nothing.

Likely it is species named "Northern".

That's weird. On my computer screen it has my zone 5 and IN. I'll see if I can figure out why it's not showing up.

I find trying to edit my profile is unbelievably exasperating! I've spent 1/2 hour on trying to change my profile name, and it won't let me. Sooooooo frustrating. This place isn't known for it's easy website.

Catherinet,

Except for your very last post, I can see the (5 IN) after your name every time. The view each person sees must have something to do with their device, in addition to your settings.

Martha

Thanks Martha. I'm so frustrated with cyber space! haha Under my profile, it asked if I wanted to edit my name, so I changed it to catherinet (5N), but it kept saying various things like "someone else has that, try another one". then I would try to change my password because it said that was wrong, so I tried to change that and it said someone else already had that. I finally gave up. It took away all my topic "follow"s, so I had to find them again. I'm so frustrated. Maybe I'll try another day....but I've had enough computer frustration for 1 day. haha Maybe if the user "four" hadn't said something, it all would have been okay, but I thought something was wrong. Oh well. I'll try again later. Thanks for your input Martha!

I viewed it in four browsers, FWIW.

FWIW, my computer (Apple mac) doesn't show anything but your name. Under your "Activity" listings it also does not appear. Sorry for your difficulty trying to fix this.

Nice butterfly photo!

Thanks everyone. I think I changed it, but maybe it will only show up in my new posts.??

Now the suffix is visible in your fourth, fifth, and sixth entries in this thread. Same in two browsers of two.

I think you may have two accounts ... one with your zone and one without.

That is true. 9 comments and 1 posting for the first of those cases. 4397 comments and 1506 postings for the second case.

Wow.....That’s weird! My brain isn’t doing so well these days so I’ll have to spend some time on this. I wonder if it changed when garden web became part of Houzz? sometimes when I try to edit the account it keeps going back to the old user name. But sometimes it goes to the new user name. How would I know if I have two different accounts? Actually it might have something to do with my having changed my email address sometime ago. I need a little more caffeine before I try to figure this out. Ha ha. I sure appreciate you guys helping me with this!

In the graphic, observe the suffix "_gw" in user name. Houzz added the suffix to user names of GW accounts at time of incorporating GW accounts. Accounts that anyone created thereafter are houzz accounts. There could be an account whose pre-houzz user name was X which became X_gw; plus a houzz account whose user name is X.
