imbedding pics?

12 years ago

Hi All, I want to get advice and I want to upload the computer aided design pics I have, but after trying a number of times in the test forum still can not do it. Anybody know what I am doing wrong. I hope I do not get in trouble for posting this in the wrong place, but could find no other place to do it. I'm not usually this inept.

In order to show pictures, they must already reside on the internet somewhere. Really, use any of them rather than gardenweb. The only place you can store picture on Gardenweb is in the gallery. The last I looked, it's one picture at a time and they are difficult to find later if you want to reference the same photo again.

There are photo instructions in Buelh's wonderful Read me if you're new to gardenweb post.

The forsythia is about 10 years old, I think, PV, and it's the love of my life :-D There is nothing like sitting at my desk, glancing out the window and seeing the first sign of yellow that tells me spring is coming! Henry, that kalanchoe is a bit of an experiment, never had one outdoors before. It was a gift handed to me when I was first planting out, and I decided to keep it outside for color til things started to bloom. It did ok in the sun for about a week or so, before the sun got as hot as it is now, then the leaves started to get sunburned. Then I put it in full shade, and it started losing some petals. Where it is now, it's mostly in shade, with some good reflective light. Still experimenting, but that spot seems to be ok for it. When we woke up yesterday, hubby said: Hey, wanna go buy some more plants? What a question :-D So everything is changing again.

What's under and/or around your Japanese Maple? Pictures please!

Why anyone felt it was necessary to resurrect and add on to an inactive 12 year old thread is a bit strange........but let me just add this comment. Japanese maples produce shallow and extremely sensitive root systems that resent any sort of disturbance. In fact, it is extremely easy to introduce often fatal disease issues by damaging these roots. So whatever one chooses to underplant their JMs with, it should be something that can be left undisturbed and with non-invasive roots. No annuals that require yearly replacement or perennials that will need frequent division. Smaller, non-suckering shrubs are fine but should be planted simultaneous to the maple. Or any low growing, shallow rooted groundcover.

can you ID the problem (PIC)

Your camellia is infested with tea scale, the most common pest of this plant. The brown 'specks' are the female scale insect and the ones with a white powdery coating are the male. These insects spend their lives sucking the contents of plant cells, thus the yellow coloring on the surface of the leaves. Horticultural oil and neem oil are both recommended for the control of these pests, but your location will determine whether or not this is a good time to apply either of those products. To be affective, the oils should be applied to underside of the leaves, where these insects live.

Please help, do you recognize this rose?

Thanks for the additional photos. But you still haven't answered my suggestion that you check additional ID-clues. For example, "petal-count-average" is a very important ID-clue. (To get a rose's P-C-A, count every petal from five blooms, then divide that total number by five.) I see the reverse-side of your rose's petals is distinctly a lighter color than their "main" side. That's an extremely important ID-clue. I grow another rose which sometimes looks like your bloom-photo ...and it has lighter petal-reverse. It's Octoberfest. But that rose doesn't grow even close to 12 feet tall. Plus, the ARS says Octoberfest's petal-count-average is 17-25 petals ...and your rose clearly has way more petals than that. Here is the description of Folklore in the 2006 Edmunds Roses catalog: "Folklore - hybrid tea - petals 40-45. Slow pening, high-centered form of warm salmon with a rich golden-orange reverse. The tall, slightly spreading vase shaped plants bear long stems covered with reddish tinted waxy [meaning semi-glossy] foliage that is extremely disease resistant. Every year several of our customers report a Climbing sport, but this isn't true - it's the nature of the beast [...]" The customers' reports that their Folklore bush has produced a "climbing sport" seems to match up with your "fast-growing, 12-foot tall" report about your rose. So until you give us several additional ID-characteristics about your rose, I'll have to stick with my PRELIMINARY guess of Folklore. (HMF says its petal-count-average is 44, Edmunds says 40-45).

I never thought I could do it but I did!!! Here is how I did it, mind you I am using a MacBook Apple Laptop YMMV.

I opened an account on Photobucket
added my pictures there into an album. I eventually ended up making several albums so I wouldn't break the chain of linking to the photo once I wanted to add more pictures.
Once I had the photos over there in photobucket I went back to Garden web and went to the message I wanted to reply to and put my cursor on the message and clicked on it as if I was ready to type in a message then I opened another window and went to photobucket and clicked on the photo I wanted in my message on GardenWeb. Over to the right there is a list of htttp, html codes in a box, click on the HTML code until it turns yellow or blue in some cases that means it was copied to your computer now close that photobucket window and go back to your still open message window to Gardenweb. It should still be open if you were careful to have two windows open at one time. Ok, now all you have to do is go along the top of your computer to the Edit tab and click on it to drop down the menu. Where it says "paste" click on that and it should copy a big long code into your message box on GardenWeb. Now you have the big long code in the message box and you can add what you want to say just after it. Just type in what you want to say in your message BE SURE YOU HIT THE PREVIEW MESSAGE BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE BEFORE YOU SUBMIT MESSAGE TO BE SURE YOUR PHOTO HAS COPIED. You're not going to see the photo until you click preview message. Now you should have your photo embedded in your message. If you want to add more than one photo just keep doing the same thing until all your photos are in your message.

I never thought I could do it either but I can and it's so great to be able to upload photos into my messages to better show what I am talking about!! As far as people who seem to do collages and all sorts of neat story boards I still can't do that, lol. Thanks and I hope that helps!!
