Dear Dalia: Its not ONE IMAGE per post, ITS ONE PLANT per post...you can submit 150kb photos ...as many as may be needed for id..
Like flowers in the bunch, from full face on, from the side for the and size of the inflorescence.... then leaves, preferably front and back..to show the shape surface, hairs or not, venation pattern the twig where all of this is happening, and the plant... its growth habit and in some cases the habitat, where its growing... and if its a tree I personally prefer to see the trunk... surface, the structure where it meets the ground, and overall canopy... I suggest you look at Dinesh valke, Balkar Arya et al's submissions for examples... I learnt about what to photograph from looking at Herbal medicine books published in the west, mainly the DK publishers, Peterson's guides and American Botanical Council newsletters and magazines... ... and Herbal photography of Steve Foster and Christopher Hobbs of American Botanical council... esp Steve Foster... his pictures over the years made us want them in our own gardens, plant the seeds and watch them and photograph them as they grew... but never could match his range but still was a great exhilarating AND CONTINUING pleasant part of my life.... I write to him from time to time... always encouraging... never an ego problem, never a tantrum... never admonishing .... very pleasant interaction.... well I said more than I wanted to write.. compensating for not seeing your post earlier!!! Sorry.
