Poppies
I bought lots of seeds from http://www.secretseeds.com last
years...all were brilliant and I was overwhelmed with splendid plants. The poppies "Chequers" was as described white with the central pattern...except for the one which made me breathless.....It was soooo beautiful it was the most glorious pink. We do have "pink Chiffon" poppies in the garden but I didn't think it would have had time to operate with the ones we have quite a distance from the "Chequers"...Do these Chequers poppies sometimes appear in this glorious pink oris this unusual? -- http://www,policedogsrus.com |

Yours actually matched the storage space of around 10,000 words. Most of the folk here won't have seen it. The rest of us will be annoyed that they spent so much time waiting for their news to come down since your post equalled the size of the rest of lasts week's combined posts together. Oh and it isn't a poppy... It is 12000 lines of hex code Warwick |

The message
from "Ray" contains these words: i do apologise that i am not as technically competentas you appear to be. I thought that this was a friendly newsgroup. That sounds as if you've been reading it a while, so you should have seen the message posted every week, called abc for newcomers to urg. If you had taken the trouble to read it you would not have made such a blunder. Don't post pictures here. Janet. |

In article ,
says... thanks warwick i do apologise that i am not as technically competentas you appear to be. I thought that this was a friendly newsgroup. Rather than be sarcastic isthere anychance that you could be constructive and advise me of a way of supplying the said picture in a more efficient format. I tend to sarcasm rather than insult The way that pictures are usually posted is to put them up to a website and then post a link to the picture such as... http://www.affordable-afpers.co.uk/m...ay/flowers.jpg or yours http://www.affordable-afpers.co.uk/urg/PICT0639.JPG I also resized yours so that it has a much smaller file size without losing too much in the way of detail. It'll take a lot less time to download that way. As to the variety of poppy... I think it is a Papaver somniferum paeoniflorum a Pink Paeony Poppy. Are the blooms 3-4" across? If it is, then it's a hardy annual and should set seed and give a fresh display each year[1] Warwick [1] Unless someone weeds the seedlings out -ahem |

If you want to post a picture then simply upload to a website and
point us to the URL. Those of us that use "proper readers" will have seen all the code but the latest versions allow us to decode and view what you had sent. Unsure what anyone reading it at google would have been able to do tho. Looking forward to the url as I love poppies. |
