There is an easier way to post pictures here than all the ones listed above. Go to Photobucket, establish an account and you can upload your pictures to this website. Photobucket is a free site. Once your photos are uploaded look under the picture there are several small boxes below the pictures, take the mouse and drag across the tag line box under your picture, hit control C and then write your message. When you decide where you want the picture in your message hit control V and you will see the location of where your picture is located. When you preview the message, you should see your Photobucket picture there, and then just post your message. Here is a link that might be useful: Photobucket

Interesting some have crossed it with blacks selfs such as Hello Darkness and have gotten an array of dark red purples such as Smoldering Fire and Crimson Lights. Also because it blooms early, it has been crossed to SDB and several of it IB children are on the market.
