Plant Identification Please
I thought pictures/binaries did not show in this newsgroup but this post had
a whopping big picture of a houseplant, at least on my server. I do not understand computers (I have been working with them for 25 years and gave up trying to understand when microsoft took over the world) any more and do not know why/how I could see the picture and not you.

Depends on your ISP. Mine strips them out - I didn't see the post. -- Kay |

Never mind. Depending on how your newsreader is set up, you will either see it, or you will seperately have to download the binary and decode it or it will forever remain unseen. Its not an aspidistra either. Its almost impossible to say what it is since all we get is some stem coming through the soil with a side shoot. That compost looks scary. From memory aspidistras, branch at the rhizome, below soil level, then the new leaves grow up individually. |

It's nothing to do with your computer, it depends on which server you collect news from. Some don't automatically strip out binaries. Most do. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

From memory aspidistras, branch at the rhizome, below soil level, then the new leaves grow up individually. there was a second picture with a complete view of the whole thing. That looked more an Aspidistra but maybe not the usual cast iron plant of grannies hallways. The first picture was odd and scary looking. The second one was like this: http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/Hort/Hor...aspidistra.jpg or http://www.greenline91.hu/novenyek/a...ra_elatior.jpg but I am going purely on vague appearance so it was just a guess. |

Sadly I still cannot see your first picture so cannot compare it to the aspidistra's pictures above. Bum ... ( |
