(I'm barging in at the top of the page because it's been dormant, as I was warned.)
I've come here from sharing info from the USDA Native Plants database to a low-priority stub article. But the whole reason I landed there was wanting to see where the particular plant comes from, so I can decide whether to plant it in my flower bed or a container. I still don't have that clear, but it would be a great help to such as me if we tried to add native/invasive and even endangered/wetland status wherever we can.

Good job creating this portal.I have a something to suggest why don't you put a Selected species section ? I will help to if help is needed Bewareofdog ( talk) 22:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC). Bewareofdog ( talk) 22:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it's pretty obvious most "selected articles" will be plants. Circeus ( talk) 22:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Should, e.g., Triticum dicoccum be a redirect to Emmer or versy-vicy? Thanks. Saintrain ( talk) 12:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
I notice that this is a start article with top importance... I'd really appreciate some help getting to grips with this. Thanks for any contributions you can make, -- Dan| (talk) 13:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
The scientific classification of Carum carvi (caraway) given in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) PLANTS Profile - http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=CACA19 - is quite different from that given in the Wikipedia article. Would a plant expert please check this out? Thanks. Timothy Cooper ( talk) 08:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
I had/have quite some difficultis to understand the structure of this project and where I can place the informations I have to be discussed. Example: There´s an articel about a special plant that I´m afraid of to contain wrong information - where to place that doubts?. Allmende ( talk) 15:07, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Nearly every species I look up seems to have it's listed heights, sizes etc. shown only in metric measurements. This is virtually worthless to any reader in the U.S. I am of the opinion that all North American grown species (and likely true for Britain as well), should automatically have measurements listed in both Standard and metric terms, and should be considered incomplete/missing information without them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OhioAtty ( talk • contribs) 16:17, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
I was unable to find a way to "talk" on the Wikipedia page regarding Centaurea Montana (" http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Centaurea_montana&action=edit"), as all it does is refer people to "Plant Portal". I wished to explain why I had changed the word "endemic" to "original". Wikipedia's own definition of "endemic" (" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemic_%28ecology%29") says: "...organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere." Since Centaurea Montana "... escapes from gardens readily, and has thereby become established in the British Isles, Scandinavia and North America.", it cannnot therefore correctly be called endemic to Europe. I wanted to be on the record as to why I changed the site.

Does anybody know what flower is this? Is there an article for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.201.125.150 ( talk) 07:54, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Editors might be interested to see a discussion concerning the proposed deletion of all Portals across Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals Regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 19:29, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I've been looking at the Plants Portal and was a little confused on the Did You Know section. Does this section automatically cycle through a set of DYKs every so often or is is manual user editing? Looking at the archive it doesn't seem like there are many hooks that have gone through there. The reason I'm asking is to find out where, or if, I can propose new DYKs, and what the requirements are for the articles (e.g. if they're as lofty as the front page requirements).

Subpage /Recognized content has been created. It will allow automating the "Selected article" section of the portal page. — andrybak ( talk) 15:23, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Nick Moyes, would you like me to update the "Selected picture" box to use the recently introduced Template:Portal pictures? All but five selected pictures on the portal have POTD subpages. All already selected pictures will be preserved. Here's how it would look on the portal:
— andrybak ( talk) 01:29, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Many of the articles at Portal:Plants/Selected articles are featured-class articles, and featured-class articles are now being transcluded on the Featured articles section of the portal. The remaining articles in the Selected articles are GA-class (from spot-checks). So, I replaced the Selected article section in the portal with a Good articles section, to eliminate redundancy and potential for the same FA-class articles to be displayed twice on the page in both the FA and Selected article sections ( diff). The new Good articles section only displays GA-class articles. North America 1000 22:30, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
