The number on each path is the number of actual submitted items waiting. An incomplete public cultivar record does not enter the queue just because some fields are blank.

1New CultivarsRequired photo, name, duplicate check, and submitted record. 2Information ChangesExisting value beside the submitted value, field by field. 3Photo SubmissionsNew photo shown with existing cultivar photos. 4Photo CorrectionsFind a public photo to move, reclassify, hide, or correct.
Best practice: open one item, make one clear decision, check the result, then return to the queue for the next item.

Path 1

Review a New Cultivar Submission

A new cultivar request must include its submitted photo. Begin with the photo and duplicate check before deciding what to do with the record.

1

Review the required photo

Confirm the cultivar shown is plausible, the image is useful, the photographer is identified, and permission is confirmed.

2

Check the name and AKA

Search the exact name, punctuation variations, close spellings, and AKAs. Compare any possible match before creating another record.

3

Review the submitted details

Check identity type, parents, originator, introducer, history, sources, and selected traits. Edit a value before approval when you know the correct choice.

4

Choose one decision

Use the action that describes the result. Do not approve a duplicate as a second cultivar record.

ActionUse it whenWhat happens
Approve as New CultivarThe name is new, the identity is supported, and the required photo is approved.The cultivar and photo become live.
Merge With Existing CultivarThe submission is the same cultivar as an existing name or AKA.Useful new information and photos are kept with the existing record; no duplicate remains.
Edit Before ApprovalA submitted value needs a spelling correction or a standard dropdown choice.Your corrected value is used in the decision.
Hold / Needs VerificationIdentity, permission, source, or duplicate status is uncertain.The request stays out of public view and remains available for more review.
RejectThe request is unsupported, unusable, or should not become a record.It leaves the active review queue without changing the public database.

Path 2

Review an Information Change

The changed main category and field should be highlighted. Review only the submitted fields; all other cultivar information remains visible to administrators for context.

FlowerFlower Size
Existing value3 inches
Suggested value3 1/2 inches
1

Open the highlighted field

The category and individual field identify exactly what was submitted.

2

Compare both values

Read the Existing Value and Suggested Value together. Check source notes and photos when relevant.

3

Edit when needed

For standard fields, choose from the approved dropdown. For names, history, and descriptions, correct the text directly.

4

Save, reject, or hold

Save This Update changes that field only. Reject removes the suggestion. Hold keeps it for more evidence.

After saving: the live cultivar record updates, and search or collection displays that depend on the saved field refresh from the same record.
Open Information Changes

Paths 3 and 4

Review Photos and Correct Existing Photos

The submitted photo appears first. Existing photos for the cultivar appear with it so you can spot a duplicate, near-duplicate, wrong cultivar, or wrong photo type.

New Photo Submission

  1. Compare the submitted photo with all existing cultivar photos.
  2. Confirm photographer credit and permission.
  3. Edit photo type, date, time, region, or notes when needed.
  4. Choose Approve, Make Featured / Hero, Hold, Reject, or Move to Another Cultivar.
Featured photo: when a cultivar has no hero photo, choose the approved image as the hero. Approving a photo alone does not always make it the hero.

Wrong Existing Photo or Details

  1. Open Photo Corrections and search the cultivar name or AKA.
  2. Select the photo that needs attention.
  3. Change its cultivar, photo type, credit, date, region, or notes.
  4. Remove it from public view, mark it duplicate, or move it to Trash when appropriate.
Important: an existing photo stays public unless you specifically mark it for removal, hiding, or Trash.
Photo integrity: normal cropping, resizing, and presentation adjustments are acceptable, but the flower's color and identifying features must not be altered. Weather information is supporting context and should be labeled as third-party data when published.

Trusted Verifier Access

Submit Without a Second Approval

Verifier Submit is for information you have already verified. These actions publish immediately under your account and do not return to the approval queue.

A

New Cultivar

Create a new cultivar with its required approved photo. The duplicate and AKA safeguards still run.

B

Correct a Record

Choose the live cultivar, select the field, enter or choose the verified value, and save it directly.

C

Add a Photo

Add an approved photo to an existing cultivar with permission, credit, type, and available context.

Send to an administrator instead: uncertain identity, disputed names or AKAs, unclear duplicate records, merges, removals, Trash, or questionable photo permission.

Before You Save

Five Quick Checks

  1. Identity: Is this the correct cultivar, name, and AKA?
  2. Evidence: Does the photo or source support the submitted value?
  3. Permission: Is the photo credit and right to publish confirmed?
  4. Comparison: Did you compare the existing record and existing photos?
  5. Outcome: Will your selected action create the intended public result?
