Hopefully for you guys where posting pictures is not something you understand, this explanation may help a little. HTML is something called a "tag language", recognized by browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc. Commands in this "tag language start and end with brackets: Where SBR (start bracket) equals the single character symbol: And EBR (end bracket) equals the single character symbol: > I'm going to use SBR and EBR because if I put in the real brackets the browser will get confused. The most important part of the command to allow you to post photos in a forum like this is: SBRimg src="http://some url address"EBR If the URL is the real URL of your photo, putting the SBRimg src = in front of it, then the EBR at the end tells the browser that what is between the tag is a photo, and it resides at that "http" url address. Simple as that. Most online photo holders have a button you can press to get the "html" code for your photo. I use flickr, and the button is "share". For the most part you should just be able to cut and paste the entire thing right into your text here, and it'll display the photo. Most often there are additional tags like:SBRa href = "xxx"EBR, which means - allow clicking on the link. Or height = "XXX", width = "YYY" which sizes your photo in "pixels" on the screen. But mostly, finding the place to get the "html" code for your photo and just putting it in here with your text, exactly as it is shown to you, should work. Good luck!

Mr Kapaun, my most humble apology. I am not computer literate, yet, so I was not aware the two items I sent were not to be together for the readers. I had the filler cap off while I was cranking the engine over to get the gasoline out of the cylinder. That's when the air/oil residue came out the filler. It would appear I need to seek a repair person locally to fix the engine, as I am having a difficult time putting in words what the engine problem is. Again, to all, I apologize for my making two entries on the same problem. Thank you all so much.

Liz it happens. Don't be too discouraged. I'd just keep trying if I were you - remember that the majority of eggs never ever reach maturity, so whatever you're doing I'd bet you're increasing their odds even with a few losses here and there. ~Laura

Peonies really need a cold cycle. The cold cycle should be under 40F at the minimum. In a pot the need is to let the root become cool but not too cold and dried out. In your zone 8a you may have some freezing temperatures but not subzero ones. Try to put the pot outside on the cooler days. Last year was an exception as far as temperatures. We had very low temperatures clear to the gulf coast at Easter which wiped out much of the bloom and in Spring dampness some of the plants died, more I believe from rot than from the frozen wet soil.
