Boophane disticha (S. African lily)
I tried to get a shot every day at the same time. I would like to make a
slide show
but not sure how?
Anyhow I always enjoy this plant& when the flower dries with the seeds, it
breaks off& blows around like a tumble weed.
Cheers Wendy
That is a most interesting flower. As to slide show, you can do it
with irfanview. And if you post all the pictures anyone can do it on
their computer. There are other ways too. Someone here can probably
point out a simple program to do exactly what you want.
I would like to see the different shots.
I had a program years ago that I did a slide show of daughter and her
friend and set it to music. Remember Jan Baker did one too.
I just can't remember the name of it.



I second Irfanview, it's a free program. Making a slide show with it is
easy. You can make it as a screen saver, or as a stand-alone. Homepage

Make sure you get all the plug-ins, too. Have fun!

Making a slide show is simple. Can you add music using the slide show
feature in irfanview. I didn't see it as an option.

I think I found what I was looking for.

Adding music

You can have background music in your Irfanview-created slideshow...
to do this, add an MP3 music track before the slide where you want it
to start playing in the list of images. It will (by default) loop
until another MP3 file is encountered, at which point the next music
file will start playing. (If there's only one MP3 file listed as the
first file in the list, it will continue playing throughout the
slideshow, though if the slideshow is set to repeat, the song will
start over from the beginning each time the slideshow goes back to
slide #1).
