Bloom Clock/Using Bcp3

Using bcp3

1. Follow link to commons, pick best available image (should show details of the flowers). If there is no image available, either:
   1. Upload an image
   2. leave the image and description variables blank
2. Follow the link to "log page", and add {{subst:bcp3|<Scientific name>|<Common Name(s)>|<Imagename>|<Imagecaption>}}

   (Reminder: if there is no image available, just add the scientific name and the common name. The template will automatically add a "no image available" signal and categorize the page as lacking an image).
