These plant markers could be great, or a complete flop. The early days (yeah, like 8 years ago…ha! in the “good old days”) of QR codes required a special application.
I went to a design conference back then(ish) and had to upgrade from my flip phone to my very first smart phone because the organizers were communicating almost everything via QR codes. It was wonderful and horrible all at the same time.
Now the phone gives you that handy dandy link right in your camera…you don’t even have to snap the picture!
This threw a group of my friends for a loop when we went to a restaurant and the menu was only available via QR code. We’re talking about a group of 50-, 60-, and 70-something-year-old women with a full spectrum of phone usage beginning with “I’ll turn it on when and if I have an emergency.” Let’s just say it took a while for us to place our order.
My club members are just such a group, and so I anticipate some complaints. I’m hoping it appeals to the tech-savvy members and, more importantly, plant sale shoppers—they are the end users, after all.
It was far more fun to put together the posts than to write out index cards with the minimum details. Plus, I could add photos (when I had them) of the plants in their maturity. We’ll see.
I thought it was only fair to share these with you after the barrage of posts you’ve been forced to endure relating to various plants.
