I have seen editors post on the talk page along the lines "I'm not a member of the WikiProject, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to edit this article" and then they suggest an edit. And no, I don't have an example off the top of my head.
It just seems to be that there are several projects that are more concerned with tagging every article that they [[WP:OWN]] then they are with actually editing them.

Any chance that you have any evidence this actually happens?

I've never seen that on a plants article. I'll have to ask the other plants folks if they've seen it. I've never even heard of it until this instance.
We do get newbies who click on the link and ask questions about plants on the WP Plants talk page. We've had a couple of posters who asked questions about animals on WP Plants, because they found our banner. Plants don't take animals for granted, they can't.
