[edit | edit source]Theory
[edit | edit source]Bloom clocks work by keeping track, over several seasons, of what plants are found blooming at a particular time of year.
The early results are simply the order in which plants bloom.
Later results can be interpreted to yield a system which can match up bloom cycles to periods in the calendar year in different regions.

Templates
[edit | edit source]The bloom clock makes extensive use of templates.
Entry creation templates
[edit | edit source]Page creation templates
[edit | edit source]- {{bcp3}}
Included templates
[edit | edit source]Taxa level
[edit | edit source]Navigation
[edit | edit source]Identification characteristics
[edit | edit source]- {{bcp-chars}}
version tracking
[edit | edit source]Versions of the Bcp3 templates are tracked using these templates. They are blank, but can be modified to include categories in order to impliment a DPL search for older versions requiring updates. See Template versions for details.
Categories
[edit | edit source]Plant log pages use a large number of categories (eventually there could be hundreds of categories on each log).
Descriptive categories
[edit | edit source]Temporal categories
[edit | edit source]Regional categories

[edit | edit source]Main Clock Pages
[edit | edit source]- Temperate clocks go by season.
- Other clocks (wet/dry season, etc.)... we don't have these yet.
User-specific Clock Pages
[edit | edit source]- Users who add multiple entries at once may want to consider using personal clock pages to avoid edit conflicts (since it can take a while to sign under all the plants).
Plant Logs
[edit | edit source]- Plant logs (pages using the prefix "BCP/") are the eventual target for all data. These pages are also used in a manner similar to templates on the visual based clocks.
- Plant logs may eventually be placed in hundred of categories, in order to construct the visual clocks.
Visual-based Clocks
[edit | edit source]- Regional and seasonal clock pages organized by flower color, plant type, and the time of year a plant blooms. These pages are created using DPL.
