"Jing Luo" expounded:
I got this plant from a friend but I don't know its name. If possible, please also tell me whether it can survive outdoor in winter (I live in Ohio). Thanks. First off, this is a text only newsgroup, please post your pictures over in alt.binaries.pictures.gardens. It's some kind of hibiscus, and no, it won't survive the winter outdoors in Ohio. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

There is a picture of a pink hardy hibiscus on this page. http://www.trainweb.org/iowarails/cv...ow/buelow.html The Rose of Sharon is a hibiscus. The hardy hibiscus flower looks similar to the Rose Of Sharon flower only hardy hibiscus are dinner plate size. wil |

It is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cooperi', a tropical plant typically grown as a houseplant or summer container plant in colder climates. Not winter hardy in zones lower than 10. http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week104.shtml pam - gardengal |

First off, this is a text only newsgroup, please post your pictures over in alt.binaries.pictures.gardens. Why is it to anyone's advantage to ban pictures from the newsgroup? If the message looks too big for your connection speed don't look at it. Pictures can be very informative. It's some kind of hibiscus, and no, it won't survive the winter outdoors in Ohio. |

My connection is fine, but others aren't. I didn't make the rules, the Usenet community did long ago. This debate has gone on and on. In a text-only group, if too many people start posting binaries, newsmasters will drop the group because of spool size. The binary hierachy is where pictures are supposed to go. It's called netiquette. Be aware not everyone has a big fat pipe access to the internet. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

Pictures can be very informative. It's some kind of hibiscus, and no, it won't survive the winter outdoors in Ohio. One reason to ban pictures is the amount of band width it uses on the server and on member connection. Another reason is that HTML newsgroups are not as safe for the average news member as is a text only newsgroup. If images can be posted in an HTML newsgroup, it can also spread viruses and other Internet nasties. HTML news messages with attachments and script code that can run just by reading it is the same danger as email that can carry Internet worms and viruses. Wil |

My ISP's newsadmin won't drop the newsgroup from their newsfeed because of a misplaced binary post. In short, it's a little thing called netiquette. There are plenty of binary newsgroups or web sites or FTP sites where people can post their pics, then post a link to them here. -- |
