I've added some pages plant photo's to the gardening bit, which
has cheered me
up in the middle of winter and made me impatient for spring to
arrive :~)

Hi Jenny,
Yes, I liked your cactus images, too.
In your 'Greenhouse in the Sky' page none of the linkable areas of the
garden seemed to work. They all resulted in a 'page not available'
error message.

Oooops - hasty upload - fixed it

Then on the 'GH' page there were two window scroll bars on the right
hand side - the inner of which is inset quite a bit and uses up some
of the viewable area. I can remember having to contend with that on my
own website at an early stage. I'm pretty sure it is a browser
compatibility thing. I'm viewing it on WinXP IE6 with a window size of
1024 x 768px.

No - its supposee to be like that Ned. Its an 'iframe'. I will experiment with
it over the weeknd to see if its better iwthout a seperate scrollbar.........

Some of your cactus images don't have 'alt' or 'title' text - which
may be an oversight - or lack of species identification. Whatever, I
think it is 'encouraged' in good web design to include something
descriptive in case the image does not show (i.e. you only see a blank
box with a red cross in the top left corner).

Yes i know :~) But I'm not sure what species some of my collection is! I'm VERY
bad at names !!

Your big flowering species are probably Echinopsis types.
i.e. 'thumbnail' row 1 image 2,
row 2 image 1, and
row 7 image 1.

Thanks !! I've added the name

There are many species and cultivars which make them difficult to
positively ID - especially as the flowers only last a day or so. I had
some which flowered overnight (in the wild they are pollinated by
moths) and barely lasted the day out.

And row 2 image 2 is an Echevaria
and row 4 image 2 is probably one of the many Mammillarias
and row 4 image 3 is Lobivia (Chamaecereus) sylvestrii

Right ! Added those and filled in the unknowns - maybe someone else will be able
to fill in :~)

Your images look good. Clickable enlargements might be appreciated by
any connoisseurs.

Yes I know, but it is such a big job, and I don't really have time ;~(
