Can you explain this Robert. Not sure what your question is.

Marvelous.
One question: Under the query program GA606 Help messages begins from 3 (not 1 or 2) and I cann't find "fragrance" under "applications". What am I missing?

Hi Robert
I'm very pleased to say you can already do this in Ideas Genie Pro 6

1
Under Setup tab, you use the Program Plant Culture/Property Classifications - GA603
Add a property Fragrance.
NOTE: There is one already - Scent. You can use that or set up a new one called Fragrance.
Then add Grades to that Property e.g. Sweet, strong, faint, sharp, sour.
Finally add a qualifier for each Grade e.g. Define as

2.
Under programs tab, use the program Plants and Gardens-GA604.
Click on the name of a plant.
In the Toolbar which pops up GA100S70, click the option - Global>Properties/Culture.
This will take you to the Global editing screen GA100S30CG.
Use that screen to add your plant (complete species, genus if necessary) to the Property/Grade

3.
Under the Programs tab, you then use the program Query program - GA606
Use that program to produce a report of the plants identified per your definitions.
Use the help icon for instructions. It is a button with a Green ?.
Drag the ? button over each field and release to expose Help for each field.
Then click the GO button to generate a report which appears in screen GA602S02.
There are buttons to Preview the report and a Print button.

Should it not be marvelous if one could create "Botanical fragrance categories" under "Setup" and forseen this in "GA100S40  Working with a plant profile". So one could for example make a database list with all the scented plants by "botanical fragance categorie" for example?
It would be marveless if one could also indicate the different scents of a plant in GA100S40.... See text beneath of the book 'The scentual garden, exploring the world of botanical ... Ken Druse'

"Part of my aim in creating The Scentual Garden was to go
beyond “fragrant” and “sweet.” Is the fragrance strong or faint? Is
the smell sharp or sour? Does the scent of a newly opened
blossom change when the blossom is fading? Can you describe it?
For the most part, you’ll think of analogies. What does the aroma
remind you of? Caramel, pine, clove, or Twizzlers?
I recently sampled flowers all around a Magnolia × loebneri
‘Merrill’ tree in full bloom, for example. The fresh white starburst
flowers smelled clearly of citronella. But the older, fading
blossoms, with decaying petal points tinged brown, smelled like
cola. “Fresh,” “delicate,” “decaying,” “citronella,” “cola,” “butter”—
these descriptive words tell me more than “sweet,” and they, with
the added factor of time, create a four-dimensional image of what
the plant looks and smells like."

I'll get on to this as soon as I've finished the "Notes" amendment Robert.
Too cold for gardening at this time of year so should have more time!!
