I can’t see how to vote on this

It didn’t work. The HowTo says that you have to name individual polls if you use more than one, so I had to edit the polls manually and something seems to have broken.

I tried entering an additional entry to the polls and Discourse told me that the poll had to have less than 20 options. Is this a hard limit, or does it just stop you making the number of options larger?

I’ve had Sidalcea ‘Rosebud’ self-seed. I’m not sure what species this belongs to - it’s similar to Sidalcea oregana, but is more robust than seed strains such as ‘Purpetta’ and ‘Rosanna’ and is reliably perennial unlike them.

I like this poll but it might be better if there were an image beside each option and a link to an observation. Think it is possible to do both of these but then might become too awkward to view on screen. One reason for wanting a photo is to remind me what each of the species are (as I don’t recognise all of these scientific names), this could be checked more thoroughly with the link to the observation.
One other little thing, growing wild in which country, presumably UK?
I also think this is a good poll as it gets away from ‘favourite’ and shows that other things are possible. Suspect ‘what is your favourite’ might still be the most common type of poll but finding other options such as this one would be good.
