I didn't even see any ads. shrug And some folks use free photo sites that plant ads around their photos without their consent and without payment to the photographer for dupes who click on them. I think this is a lot of sound and fury signafying nada. |

Identify Flower Photos
A quick search turned up this one from Texas A & M, as well as many
others. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/w...lery/index.htm Paul B.www.scienceteacher.biz Thank you very much this is good information. Yes, some if not most are cultivated flowers but some are not. I plan to continue posting more as I find them. Thanks again for the great information. All of you who posted it. I am sure this will help others also. I plan to visit a local conservatory soon and get some pictures there also. I am not the greatest photographer and don't plan to quit my day job! But it is fun and I appreciate the replies and ability to learn. Thanks! |

I like to take the photographs, but I have no idea what most of these flowers are. Would anyone here be able to help me name my flower pictures? http://www.floweryforests.com The second one in the first row is a Coneflower (Echinacea), I believe, but the specific name for the type with the droopy petals will have to be provided by someone else.

No, he's a spammer because he posts dull pictures, puts a link in a newsgroup, all to get you to click on his ads. Forest dahlias? Give me a break. You actually clicked on his ads????? And last time I checked, bad photographers weren't illegal. No, I didn't, I didn't even see them, but it's not a matter of bad photographs. Enjoy the site, I guess, if that's what interests you. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

Not particularly but I can't say it took more than sixty seconds out of my life to take a look at them and suggest a name. BTW, do you think spammers stop back to say "thanks" a lot? I have to say this is the first time I ever saw it happen. How 'bout you? |

As a matter of fact there's been some pretty contentious threads with spammers who at first tried sucking up and then ended up arguing their right to exist, which, of course, they do, but don't expect me, or a lot of others around here, to throw roses at their feet and greet them with open arms. You can, which you seem inclined to do. Go for it. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

Then make it a rule to not click on links from strangers. It's like that candy thingy your mother once taught you but upgraded for the computer age. I don't see why everyone is merrily clicking links and then bitching about it later. Since the power to ignore him was always in their hands and THEY COULDN'T DO IT, perhaps they should stop whining about it. |

Calling attention may sound like whining but it has a higher purpose. -- FB - FFF Billy Get up, stand up, stand up for yor rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight. - Bob Marley |

Sometimes people see wolves when they really are just grey-haired old grannies out for a stroll. |
