I finally have 240 power on so I will be able to come here all the time now. Yipee !

These photos were taken in Autumn in Australia, before May sometime.

Souvenir De Mme Leonie Viennot.

You almost had it. This Board uses the HTML code line from PhotoBucket, not the Image Code line.

There are several ways of describing the strength of an acid solution. If the label says 50% sulfuric acid(V/V), it can be read as "50% sulfuric acid, by volume." If the label says 50% sulfuric acid(W/W), it can be read as "50% sulfuric acid, by weight." Referring to the periodic table, sodium has an atomic weight of 23, and chlorine has an atomic weight of 35.4. Since we know that the formula for table salt is NaCl, we can add 23 and 35.4 to get 58.4. A 1 Molar solution of sodium chloride has 58.4 grams of NaCl dissolved in one liter of water. If the label says 50% sulfuric acid, and that's all it says, you really don't know if the ingredients were measured by weight or by volume. One liter of concentrated sulfuric acid, added to 10 liters of water, would be labeled "10% sulfuric acid(V/V)." You will notice that there is some heat generated when mixing sulfuric acid with water. This is normal and expected. If you were to add one liter of sulfuric acid to one liter of water, the temperature might get high enough to melt a plastic container. However, when making up 10% sulfuric acid, the rise in temperature would be less than 35 degrees F.

hee-hee! well, if it came to swearing the British are always using the breeder terminology/"swear word" to refer to their female dog, LOL! I would love, love, love! to see your working Kelpie and people here would be delighted to see your Laura and your current kelpies working their sheep...What's so fun and wonderful about the gallery is that everyone has shared everything! I have seen Jim's bear-cub/bobcat Lacy which is huuuuge and his birds and I also have seen Boxofrox's beautiful bee and his pup Ellerina and Lucretia1's hummingbird. Just the simple joys of life! and living creatures great and small. And we would love to see your videos...I can help you post a link so that everyone! can enjoy it. I actually do web design, 3D animation and graphics, so I do know how to write web code. Just email me the link address and I can create a hyperlink on the thread that people can click on and it will open a new tab on their browser so that they can see it side by side with the original thread. I am so impressed with Laura! alas for me I'm just friends with the Greats! you being included. I doubt Eluane and I can ever be top rank through no fault of hers but because life circumstances interfered with this. Tim Dyer one of my friends again is placing in Nationals and has a real good chance of making it to the tops. I keep telling him his Frankie is going to make it to FCI-Agility World Championships, lol! and he jokes back, I think you have some high expectations for me. Here is my little Eluane when she was a tiny pup. And here is one of my favorite "grown-up" photos.

Warning! Pic-Heavy lumps! Lopsided Garden Part II

Jim, you made such an excellent choice! I love your roses because they all are known to have amazing fragrance to them! I try so hard to get roses with fragrance, but not always do I luck out... Zyperiris, I would definitely get Gemini from Jackson & Perkins...You will have better luck with them having fragrance at J & P because not all Gemini have fragrance...I love the scent of mine (smells like honey and and peaches)...Advantages of Gemini are that they flourish and look beautiful even in 95-97 degree heat; they are rated exhibition form roses by the ARS and are highly resistant to diseases and are very vigorous! Fragrant Cloud makes...delicious rose petal jelly--haha! man, when I eat that stuff I feel like I'm eating plums, super-saturated kick-pow jam, it's got flavor intensity to the max. It's got a very strong nice perfume, but my favorite perfume will always be Mr. Lincoln. Disadvantage of Fragrant Cloud is that it is very, very difficult to color match whereas Gemini looks beautiful anywhere you plant it! Special Occasion is a very beautiful rose but!!!!!it's got a split personality. It has a classical very lovely shape from young to maturity blooms, but once it's past mature it becomes an antique Souvenir bloom (google search Souvenir de la Maison) and you'll know what I mean. If you don't like the curliness and petticoat shape of this type of antique rose, you may not like Special Occasion... You see Special Occasion is a long-lived blossom, it takes forever! for it to fade and thus it has a split personality-- a breathtaking classical hybrid tea, but once its past its mature bloom stage, it becomes a cute petite OGR. It is now currently sold by Vintage Gardens. Mine was supposed to be exceptionally fragrant, but in my opinion it is only medium in fragrance so far...Also with Special Occasion it is OUCH!if you pick it up by the blossom neck-it's like a bristle brush of very tiny miniscule thorns...

Hi Rosesforme, I think it only went on for 2 days which was last satday and last sunday. (where are you? I'm in Nth Balwyn) Never mind if you missed this one, because there is a Melb International Flower show on as well from 6-10 April. There will be some roses on display there for sure. Thank you Sandie and Thanks for the link, yeah Jean and Lozza were there. She won quite a few award as well. You should have gone. It was my first time and I really enjoyed myself.

Hi Jim and Hartwood, thanks so much for your help. I haven't been back since because the transformer that goes to my satellite box stoped working a week ago when I was replying to Lopsided gardener. I have been waiting for a replacement since to the transformer which had been only 3 weeks old. One day I will have a spare one on hand.
Also my partner has had health worries, so trips to docters and CTR scans etc., and two days ago my 10 year aold daughter broke her upper right arm, so I have been busy too. Will have a go at loading some photos tonight. I am planting roses today !

Sorry to hear all that bad news. Hopefully, things will get better!
Wish we could plant roses, but, it is to late in the season here for us in Pa.
Best of luck getting those pics posted on this forum.

Hugs to you, RoseMeadow! I am keeping prayers for you and your partner that everything will be o.k. and "in-the-clear"...Please let us know how you and your partner are doing so that we can be as supportive as we can...Sometimes life can throw us some pretty hard wrenches here and there...

One always needs plenty of friends and cheers when things get rough. And poor daughter, hopefully her arm will be on the mend soon. I am wishing you huge blooming bouquets of get-well wishes from your rosies-in-the-garden. Hee-hee, maybe the plants will have plant sixth-sense and send some bouquets your way to cheer you and your family up!

Well that is soooo wonderful! I can't wait to see your lovely photos! It's so funny how me, the typical American often forgets your reverse seasons! I always think of time change, but! I never think about seasonal reverse when it comes to Australia, LOL! by the way, I think New Zealand is supposed to have the rain and lush green surroundings (think Lord of the Rings where everything was filmed at) but Australia is much more drier in climate in certain areas right? Which part of Australia are you at? I can't wait to see your tea roses and the unusual roses. Here it's usually only the standard hybrid teas or floribundas and I want to see something different! hurrrrrrrray!

Thanks all of you for your kind remarks. I have been trying to send more photos but the other problem I have is that it keeps posting the same photo of Corrinne instead of changing to the new one I want, even here on this different post.
