Ah, I hadn't considered offline access. This is actually possible to do on a website with the data storage APIs in HTML5 (which both iOS and Android support -- at least, they are supposed to). An app may be nicer in general for more advanced features, anyway. I'd like to see these: 1) Searching of the plant library. 2) Browsing of plants I own/want to own, along with readings and suitable locations. 3) Lists of locations I have measured with access to the list of plants that will grow there. 4) "Property map" type overview. For example, let me provide a scan of my property map or a sketch and indicate where on that image I have taken readings and where my plants are. 4a) Let me specify watering/other maintenance schedules on the map (or at least show them there). That is, I'd like to indicate how often I expect to water plants and prune them and get reminders of some sort. 4b) "Planning mode"; Use the property map to indicate places I have measured in recommend mode. Let me select each place, show me plants that work there, then let me pick one. In the end, I should be able to save the selections in some form to take to the store or just play with until I come up with something I like.

Not sure if this is the best location for this question, but tonight when I removed my EasyBloom from the soil (it's completely dark outside) the ground was glowing green for a few seconds afterward. It was a small spot, almost as if a firefly flew into the hole (though there aren't many around this late at night). Is this the EasyBloom?

I actually have an ipod touch, so to me I'd love to be able to download my information from the website to the ipod, or at least a list of best flower options by location without the requirement of a web browser. Typically when I shop for plants I try to organize by color and area, and with the list of what plants will work and which won't I'll also be able to find alternative options if my first choice plants aren't sold by the plant center. A mobile version of the site though would be a good alternative!

I think a mobile version of the site would be just as good. (I have an Android phone :)). See something like http://m.wegmans.com/. There isn't much an app can do that the website couldn't, as the functionality of the device is all via the website. It just needs a more finger-friendly interface.

Hello Gretchen, It's good to see that you got a camellia in the 'April' series, as they are one of the most hardy of all Camellias. Normally zone 7 is the max cold hardy zone for Camellia japonica...but 'April Snow' streches into your 6b zone. Even so, I would give the plant some protection by having it planted close to your house. Placing your camellia in a location getting eastern exposure or morning sun is a good idea, as it can burn in the afternoon hot sun. Make sure your planting in soild that is acidic in nature. If not, it will need to be adjusted to give your camellia a chance to be a peak performer in your garden. Best! ~ Ian

Hello Heather, We have not yet developed an iPhone application. We are actually in the process of evaluating how many of our customers have iphones. What features would you like to see on it when released? Best, Matt Glenn Founder and CEO

Hello Marie, Thanks so much for your inquiry and will love to help you out with your pest issue! The thing that stands out most for me is the fact that the one common pest for all these plants that creates holes in the leaves is snails and or slugs. If the holes are close to a half inch in size or larger I feel confident that this is your pest! Look closely for snail mucus trails on the top of the leaves that would have been left in the evening hours. Just sprinkle some snail / slug bait around the base of your plants and see over the next couple weeks if you notice any new holes being formed. Thanks again Marie Cheers! Ian Hall

I actually did a Google search on this (just bought the EasyBloom last week) and an article stated that an app exists, but I can't find it anywhere. I too would LOVE LOVE LOVE this feature. EasyBloom is such a cool tool and it would be so much more amazing with an app that includes my data or at least my favorites (at least make the favorites downloadable to text so I have SOMETHING to take with me to the store?) Just seems like there must be an easier way to fill the gap from recommendations to purchase at a plant center.

I received this plant and I have been trying to research for planting guidelines especially exposure and any other tips for success! I am in zone 6B

I agree that if it measured pH and npk more people would buy it and it would be the ultimate gardening tool. people would be willing to pay more i know i would. It is a great tool in it self but for the serious gardener this additional information is vital.
