What is the "Plant Data Collection Project"? I have pictures of things blooming in my yard this month (May). Is that what this is for...to tell what bloomed in the member's area?

it is where you can post your collection and what is happening with your plants. so for me, i would put
zone 8b effingham county georgia southeastern us
blooming now confederate aka star jasmine
so, if someone were searching on when should their star jasmine bloom, the search engine (google, etc) would find my post and they could see that it blooms in may in southeast georgia.
does that make sense?
