I am not sure about Asteraceae week by dividing the family in to 3 genus groups. It would be possible for people who already identified or who can id the plant. Otherwise what would happen for those who couldn't identify? Where would such pictures upload? I have a suggestion that we shall separate shrubs from herbs and since there are very few trees in the family it can be neutralized (trees can be uploaded along with shrubs and herbs).
