No pics.....or is my computer?

Dawn

Here 'tis for those who can't view my thumbnails. (even though this thumbnail is full size... the problem appears to be in the code for displaying thumbnails???

Thumbnail appears in Firefox, but not in my slightly out of date IE. Not sure what the issue is. Pic links in tables? That space in the tag? I'll have a play in the test forum and report back :)

Really nice plants there, CP! I see that spring has sprung in your area. I'm jealous!

I think I've found the problem. You seem to be missing your end-tag angle bracket on the A HREF tag. Newer browsers compensate and fill in the tag for you, but some rubbish ones (like IE!) don't and show you nothing. So one > should fix it.

Thanks S&B I appreciate your help there. I use Firefox, I'm essentially lazy as I "cut and paste" a lot, so because it worked either way for me, I didn't bother to place the ">" I shoulda known... so here goes I'll post a thumbnail to put it to the test...

Here's a scan of a 35mm slide of my Gymno andreae...

Is that working OK for all?

Cheers for now, CP

Oh yes, perfect now - can see it whereas previously nothing.
Nice plant C/P - you must have lots of cacti !

OK CP: G mihanovichii has yellow blooms.. Yours is most probably G stenopleurum... See link on this controversial subject..

Here is a link that might be useful: Gymnocalcium controversy

I love the flowers. They photograph very well.

Thanks all, and I appreciate the tip and the link Bill, I haven't had this plant for long, and this is the first time it's flowered since I got it... my other ones are only small seedlings and are also budding for the first time... it'll be interesting to see if they are correctly named also.

CP

The great thing about this plant is that it will repeatedly bloom all spring and summer!!! I think I have 7 or 8 of them now.

Bill, these plants probably think they're home in Brazil during your summer! Do you leave them out in the rain?

I just bought one of these at our HD store....it's budding now. Is this the normal bloom time?

S_B: yes, I leave it in the rain, and it doesn't mind at all. They are not rot proned at all.
Dave: No, now is not the normal bloom time for your zone. I guess it was still getting plenty of light and heat where it came from.

What about green flowered versions? Are they a separate species?
