Why are there no pics on AV sites?

18 years ago

I've been browsing AV sites lately looking for my little blue wasp. I found one with a fairly good catalogue of pics, and Rob's has pics, but most of the sites I've found have no, or very few, pics. Even on e-bay, there sometimes are just descriptions, or a pic of the plant not in bloom. When I search Google-images, I can't find anything on most varieties.

What gives?

Feegle,

- new at AV obsession and irked at lack of immediate gratification! Hmmmph! -smile-

Probably the cost to store all of the pictures is too much. I have First Class 2 program through AVSA, it has some pictures and is helpful.

Have you been to the AVSA pictures section recently? I wandered over there and found pictures of these wasps:

Drucilla
Fay's Paisley
Calico Wasp
Wedgewood Wasp

without much trouble. I didn't look for all of them, and every wasp picture on the site isn't in FC2 Here's a list of all of the wasps I counted on FC2:

*Amethyst Confetti (7555) 1991 (C. Carter) Single-semidouble chimera purple wasp/wide white stripe. Medium green, heart-shaped, pointed, hairy, glossy. Miniature
*Blue Wasp (J. Dates) Single medium blue wasp. Medium green. Standard

*Calico Wasp (1969) 1969 (J. Dates) Single light lavender fluted wasp/purple fantasy. Quilted/bustle back. Standard
*Capricious (5279) 1983 (V. Rader) Single dark blue frilled wasp. Longifolia, ruffled/red back. Standard
*Dave Masterson Wasp (J. Dates) Medium blue wasp. Medium-dark green/red back. Standard
*Fay's Paisley (F. Wagman) Single blue wasp/red fantasy. Plain. Semiminiature

A little help with a couple of AV problems (with pics)

A. - My cats do not eat my plants - and I have too many plants (and 2 cats) - so some reduction wouldn't hurt. We have a Show in 2 weeks - I am dreaming on selling everything that blooms and leaving myself only starters and leaves and most of the trailers - because it takes long time to get them to the size. The cat damage is mechanichal - fly in the window - all bets are out - everything is flying. Or they decide to walk through the lower light shelf. Regarding names and unnamed - and to show or not to show - you probably have green fingers, you can grow plants so they are looking great and blooming great - at some point you will want to try more elaborate varieties, something different - so going to the Shows, seeing what other people grow and may be bringing a starter or 2 is part of developing your hobby. Association with people with the same interests is enjoyable and useful - so joining the club can be attractive at some point. And how did it start - you got a NOID violet or 2 - and they did great for you. Regarding the lamp - you can get a skinny fluorescent fixture to fit your growing place - and you can hang it from the ceiling above your violets - and turn it on in the evenings. Depends how handy you are - you can figure out some inconspicuous support for T8 or T5 fixture - like they sell for above the kitchen counters - light stick or some similar name. Good Luck Irina

The 4th rose you are talking about I believe you mean Geoff Hamilton? I believe it's an english rose. I bought it at Lowe's marked down and in terrible shape. I had no idea what it would look like except for the picture on it. I could not believe it bounced back the way it did, but near the end of summer it got blackspot and thrips loved the pink roses. I will have to wait and see how it does this summer, but I am going to spray before spring for blackspot in hopes I can prevent it.

how to post pics on this site
Q
Comments (5)
One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up. Once your picture has been uploaded, find its image location address (URL) by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. The URL will look something like: http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg. Some sites may even provide the appropriate HTML code in a text box below the photo for your convenience. It will be the one that begins with a href=... (This code looks different than the code below, because it will actually produce a picture link instead of just a picture.) Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg To embed the picture into a post, use the command: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"> _____________________________________ If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like: img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=600> _____________________________________ Another option is to use a text link which might be beneficial to people on slow connections. To do this, use the command: a href="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">your text goes here/a> _____________________________________ Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (but with the correct image web address).

Don't post pics? Why or Why not? (Long, rambling, sorry!)
Q

I am probably not going to be posting many pics when asking questions any more because I find that too many people are only looking at the pictures, NOT reading the text, and thus their responses are either directly contrary to something I've said in the text (for instance "get rid of XYZ" or "the color of ABC is wrong" when I've already said in the accompanying that I love XYZ so it's not going anywhere or that the color of ABC is really more toward mauve when it shows up as puce in the picture) or have nothing at all to do with what I'm asking. I find that intensely frustrating. I have almost no pictures of my current house because it's still in "whatta dump" stage. No paint (walls need a TON of work), short on furniture, dreadfully designed kitchen that's a perpetual mess because there's nowhere to put things... and forget outside pictures, a few weeks ago we ripped out almost every trace of vegetation outside (and will not be replacing it until next year, probably fall '09 to get the end-of-season sales) due to a honeysuckle invasion that I swear was growing by feet per day and was starting to attack the porch. I'll happily post pictures of my previous house because I think I did a pretty decent job with it. We're not on Google Maps but we're kinda-sorta on Google Earth - but the best you can get is a fuzzy whitish blob in the midst of a bunch of other fuzzy whitish blobs on a fuzzy grayish stripe. No closeups. Our town is clearly not a high priority as far as Google is concerned! WRT security - we live in a somewhat iffy neighborhood so I am one HECK of a lot more worried about the people a dozen houses down the street breaking in looking for meth money than I am about someone trying to track me down via the Internet (I Googlebate every so often just to see what's out there re: me) from half a dozen states away. I've been email-stalked and -harassed a bunch of times in my 18 years online because of my outspoken ;-) opinions and my ISPs have always been helpful in dealing with it. However, I've had meet-ups with a whole slew of people I've met online over the years, twice flying nearly cross-country to do so, and it's been grand fun.
