    That is a lovely Brug :)

    So it will be flowering from March through to November ? That is amazing, I guess you have it in a heated greenhouse, then is it moved outside during the summer?

    Thanks for the compliment John
    Hurstwood Bryony is at present in an unheated greenhouse and I only put the heating on if it go's below zero, she has small buds at the moment.
    I grow them very hard, they thrive or don't survive!

      Alan, the forum software is changing this weekend so the method of posting photos will be different (and hopefully a lot easier)

      I can't quite do it LongK's method as I am on Windows98, and I suspect he is on a different operating system with slightly different menus.

      In UKEG you can upload a picture from your own hard disk directly into a thread. ie a copy of the picture is stored on the UKEG server. This forum doesn't do that (unless its a recent improvement).

      This means that you must incorporate the address of the picture in the thread. And when the thread is displayed, each time it picks the picture up from the address you have given. For this reason you must pick a picture up from the internet itself and not from your own computer, which might not be on-line.

      There are two ways to do this.

      1) the first is to open an account with one of the picture storage URLs such as Photobucket. Then upload the pictures to Photobucket and pick up the address from there. When the cursor hovers over your picture on photobucket it will show below 4 different types of tag. You just have to click on the tag which copies it and then right click/paste in the reply box. This automatically puts the right line of code into the thread, and you can check that it works with preview.

      2) The second way is to effectively do the same thing from a picture elsewhere on the internet, but without Photobuckets handy tags. Rather than do it with one of your photos as they have long addresses I will demonstrate with the picture [IMG]http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/autumn/editor/switchmode.gif which is in the top right hand corner of the thread reply box. Do a right click on the [​IMG] and chose properties. This shows you the address of this picture - http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/autumn/editor/switchmode.gif If you copy it and then paste it directly into your text it will show the address, which the forum interprets as an internet address so it shows it in blue. However you want the [​IMG] icon as LongK said, and paste the address into that. However you will probably have to remove the http bit that is already in the box or you will get it twice.

      Incidentally the [​IMG] icon is very useful. It toggles the reply box between source code and what's seen.

      Hopefully that will work for you. Thats the good news - the bad news is that we are just about to change the platform and all this may change. :D

        Hurstwood Bow

        Wayne
        Hurstwood Elinor is below this one.

        Here is Hurstwood Bow (H. Elinors pod sister)
        This one has also carried the strong fragrance from Arborea 'S' and the gorgeous colouration from Wildfire.
        Another positive of these two is that they have the hardiness of the Arborea.
        Hope you like her?
