    Wondering if I am able to post a similar question on two different threads? I originally posted to the idenitfy thread hoping to identify a flower. Later I noticed the PNW thread and posted basically the same question there. I have now found the original post missing?

    Was it deleted? Am I only able to post this question to one thread?

    Hi. Yes, you're right - it was deleted. The original post was actually moved to the PNW Wildflower ID forum, but then I noticed you'd posted a second time in that forum, so removed the first one.

    Limiting a new thread to being posted in only one place has advantages for those who frequent the forums often - for those who click through each new post using the New Posts feature, duplicates must be visited to "clear" the new posts so that they are all caught up. Since we're a smallish forum, it also helps to ensure that if someone posts a reply to a question, that it hasn't already been answered before elsewhere.
