your welcome. I also found this in a recent ebay auction: Hippeastrum pardinum (first image) is often mixed up with H. neopardinum (third image, not up for bidding in the current offer), a dubious taxon which is said to be found near a village called Atén in Nor-Yungas Province of the Department of La Paz, Bolivia. Some growers consider that H. neopardinum to be a variation of H. pardinum as âÂÂneoâ is a Latin prefix which stands for âÂÂnewâÂÂ. Len Doran opines that the prefix is assigned to H. neopardinum as it is âÂÂsimilarâ / âÂÂclosely allied toâ H. pardinum. My observation of the flowers and growth habit suggests that there are significant differences between the two: the dotted pattern of H. pardinum appears to be rather coarse (see first image and second image of a drawing extracted from plate 633 of Flore des Serres, with courtesy). Nevertheless, H. neopardinum is noticeably distinguished by the fine, linear pattern. Besides, the segments of H. pardinum are largely elliptical-ovate in shape but the segments of H. neopardinum are lanceolate with an acute apex. In cultivation, H. pardinum is always self-sterile and multiply slowly by means of vegetative growth. On the contrary, H. neopardinum is a self-fertile species which makes viable seeds.

To name a thumb-drive: Bring up the "My Computer" panel. All the connected drives and storage devices should show. Right click on the thumb drive, and then click on properties. At the top of the properties panel is a box for the name of that device. It will be blank if the device has never been named. Type in the name you wish to use and then click "apply". This name is written to the storage device. Thus, when a thumb drive is removed from one computer to another, its name goes with it. A name can be changed or removed by using the steps above. To remove a name, merely delete all the characters in the name box and click "Apply". This procedure also applies to floppy disks. This precedure should work for rewritable CDs and DVDs as well. I'm not sure how it works for for "write-once CDs".

Very nice picture and Dome!...looks like it broke sometimes ago? Konrad
