General enqiry please
Does anyone please know of a group to which I could post scanned and/or
digital images of plants for the purpose of help with identification? I do NOT have a website. |

PS I have tried alt.binaries.pictures.nature but found that the necessary
level of knowledge is not forthcoming. |

And alt.binaries.pictures.gardens is as good as any, and better than some. If you don't have access to a website of your own you have to make do. In the past somebody, once, did post a picture here, but I would not know if that would still work. PvR |

Dear John,
Stop being such a prissy fusspot snob and just post the darn pictures to alt.binaries.pictures.gardens already. Who are you to judge the level of knowledge of people you don't even know? There are people there who obviously know far more than you do. It doesn't matter what the origin of your plant is. It it exists, it will have a name. You will be surprised of the level of knowledge of the lurkers there. Someone will step up and ID your plant. BTW, its spelled "inquiry" And if its general, it certainly can't be that difficult.

Do note that Cereoid is addicted to identifying plants. He is desperate for
his fix. By his lights, this is good behaviour, and it may well deteriorate as withdrawal symptoms set in. PvR |

Whilst Cereus may have issues with people who are lacking in intelligence,
his accuracy with identification of plants is so awe inspiring that I have spent many a month trying to figure out who he is so that when I stumble across him in real life I may bow at his feet and give homage, after which I would offer employment and haggle a wage(not that I would expect to be able to afford him). Do not mind his ascerbic nature, after all they say that you reflect your name so I expect that at times he will be a little thorny. I have never seen Cereus be less than well mannered to those who are well meaning with their questions and admit to their own lack of knowledge. (In fact, I have known him to be as gentle as a lamb at times) Kye. "P van Rijckevorsel" wrote in message ... Do note that Cereoid is addicted to identifying plants. He is desperate for his fix.

"Kye" wrote in message ... Whilst Cereus may have issues with people who are lacking in intelligence, I rather feel, and certainly hope, that he has made rather too early a judgment about me on that count. Nit-picking to the level of spelling corrections, especially when inaccurate, is not necessarily a major pointer as to the intelligence of the perpetrator. But then, maybe he is of that ilk that feels that the US can do no wrong, and/or that there is a world beyond it's boundaries.. Maybe he is unaware of the theory that we are two nations separated by a common language. (;-) Not much chance of my benefitting from his, obviously well respected botanical knowledge now, I suspect. The 'freaking' pics should now have commenced to arrive. Is that a diminutive, politically correct version of frigging or worse? (:-) |
