I never proved or disproved it either way) or Apple of Peru.. See google for more information!-) Its in the fammily Solanacaea related to Tomatoes, potatoes and deadly nightshade. Seed is available from Chilterns (thats where I got mine!-)) Grows larger than you expect.. I have some in my front garden and they are now up above the level of the windowsills!.. Still that bed is a talking point with passers by!-) If you want faster loading of these images you might consider dropping your image respolution to 72 ppi (screen resolution) as it is 300ppi at the moment and you don't gain anything from it on screen. Resizing to 640 by 480 pixels or smaller may also help. Final thing you can do is to save at a better compression rate with JPEG, say 50% or 70% without losing much quality.. All these options should be availabe in the program that came with your camera or on your image editing software. This will bring the filesize down to around 40 K or less per pic.. Much more acceptable for downloads!-) // Jim |

They are resized from the camera, you'd still be downloading otherwise ;-) |

Chinese lantern style seed pods rather than thorny apples. Same family, though. I've got one on my terrace atm! -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

They are resized from the camera, you'd still be downloading otherwise ;-) Depends on the camera.. You can keep them large and still lower the resolution.. Unless you want people to be able to print them there is no point going above 72 ppi!-) There are other ways of speeding up loading. Using thumbnails, or smaller images that link to the high quality ones.. Using a 'Preload' script. But yes.. you did warn us;-) // Jim |
