The garden ones survive as we are in the middle of the city and it's probably a few degrees warmer :~) Jenny |

Regards Pete www.thecanalshop.com What browser do you use Pete? Hi Jenny, Yes, I liked your cactus images, too. In your 'Greenhouse in the Sky' page none of the linkable areas of the garden seemed to work. They all resulted in a 'page not available' error message. Then on the 'GH' page there were two window scroll bars on the right hand side - the inner of which is inset quite a bit and uses up some of the viewable area. I can remember having to contend with that on my own website at an early stage. I'm pretty sure it is a browser compatibility thing. I'm viewing it on WinXP IE6 with a window size of 1024 x 768px. Some of your cactus images don't have 'alt' or 'title' text - which may be an oversight - or lack of species identification. Whatever, I think it is 'encouraged' in good web design to include something descriptive in case the image does not show (i.e. you only see a blank box with a red cross in the top left corner). Your big flowering species are probably Echinopsis types. i.e. 'thumbnail' row 1 image 2, row 2 image 1, and row 7 image 1. There are many species and cultivars which make them difficult to positively ID - especially as the flowers only last a day or so. I had some which flowered overnight (in the wild they are pollinated by moths) and barely lasted the day out. And row 2 image 2 is an Echevaria and row 4 image 2 is probably one of the many Mammillarias and row 4 image 3 is Lobivia (Chamaecereus) sylvestrii Your images look good. Clickable enlargements might be appreciated by any connoisseurs. -- ned http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk last update 30.12.2004 |

In your 'Greenhouse in the Sky' page none of the linkable areas of the garden seemed to work. They all resulted in a 'page not available' error message. Oooops - hasty upload - fixed it Then on the 'GH' page there were two window scroll bars on the right hand side - the inner of which is inset quite a bit and uses up some of the viewable area. I can remember having to contend with that on my own website at an early stage. I'm pretty sure it is a browser compatibility thing. I'm viewing it on WinXP IE6 with a window size of 1024 x 768px. No - its supposee to be like that Ned. Its an 'iframe'. I will experiment with it over the weeknd to see if its better iwthout a seperate scrollbar.........

Whatever, I think it is 'encouraged' in good web design to include something descriptive in case the image does not show (i.e. you only see a blank box with a red cross in the top left corner). Yes i know :~) But I'm not sure what species some of my collection is! I'm VERY bad at names !! Your big flowering species are probably Echinopsis types. i.e. 'thumbnail' row 1 image 2, row 2 image 1, and row 7 image 1. Thanks !! I've added the name There are many species and cultivars which make them difficult to positively ID - especially as the flowers only last a day or so.

And row 2 image 2 is an Echevaria and row 4 image 2 is probably one of the many Mammillarias and row 4 image 3 is Lobivia (Chamaecereus) sylvestrii Right ! Added those and filled in the unknowns - maybe someone else will be able to fill in :~) Your images look good.

In article , JennyC
writes Yes i know :~) But I'm not sure what species some of my collection is! I'm VERY bad at names !! Your big flowering species are probably Echinopsis types. i.e. 'thumbnail' row 1 image 2, row 2 image 1, and row 7 image 1. Help! I went to have a look to see if I could identify any - went to 'plants' the 'cacti and fat plants', and all I could see was one row and the top quarter of a second row, with no way to scroll down! -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

I found it engrossing at the time though. Good luck. -- ned http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk last update 30.12.2004 |

Jenny,
I've just twigged why Kaye can't see your full page of thumbnails. It's because of the double scroll bar. I'll bet that Kaye can only see the outer scroll bar (maybe she only has a small viewing area) and you need to use the inner scroll bar to get to the bottom of the page. Who said web page design was easy! :-)) -- ned http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk last update 30.12.2004 |
