I just went to buy some garden plants from my tame grower and especially didn't put on shoes with a profile because all the mud and slime gets stuck in them.........................so slipped and I went A over T in my brand new jeans [only on for an hour] and got a very green wet bum, sat on a few petunias on the way down as well, I was tempted to sing 'I'm a lonely little onion in a petunia patch' I cleared up the debris paid Nol and backed out! I've got some smashing Blue Veined Surfinias. I've also got hanging plants I buy every year and I can't think of their name, it's driving me mad and I forgot to ask, it's got thick dark green quite fat leaves about the size of a 50p [if they are still the same as when I lived there] the little blue flowers are on long thin stems and they look like big Lobelia............please help! [they flower right up until the frost get's them]

Sun is shining and I'm going planting!

That name doesn't ring a bell Di but it might well be right, I'll take a photo [if I can find how to put it on here]

Thanks Chezzie

Is this it Chezzie and MB ??

P.S. Will dig out a copy of Eric's instructions re posting pics using Photobucket, if you still need help?? I couldn't have managed without them! ( Thanks Eric ! :) )

Chezzie · « **Reply #8 on:** May 25, 2004, 15:55:28 »

No Di it isn't, but thanks for trying, I did search for posting but didn't have much luck, so yes please I've tried everything!

MagpieDi · « **Reply #9 on:** May 25, 2004, 19:42:57 »

How many people can there be with my name, I've tried every variation and at last I'm in...............now I'm going on a training course to post a photo..........A levels were easier!

Bear with me!

Chezzie · « **Reply #14 on:** May 25, 2004, 20:19:31 »

OOPS! Slight problem with size!

Palustris · « **Reply #15 on:** May 25, 2004, 20:49:31 »

Looks like a Streptocarpus to me, perhaps one called Boysenberry Delight or suumat

Chezzie · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2004, 20:53:39 »

PHEW! That's the one Palustris!

It was worth all the hassle and I have learnt how to post a picture.......well almost!

Thanks very much

Chezzie

Good oh. If you do not have a photo manipulation program which came with the camera, then down load the free one from Hpphoto.com It is called Photo Manager. It is dead easy to use. Instructions are available if needed. The size I use is 300 pixels by 225 pixels. for side by side posting and 350 by 263 for a one off posting. Give it a whirl and ask if you need any more assistance.

Chezzie · « **Reply #18 on:** May 25, 2004, 21:06:34 »

I've got all sorts of programmes and not a clue how to use them, let's see if this works!

Chezzie · « **Reply #19 on:** May 25, 2004, 21:09:31 »

Thanks very much everyone for all your help, I think I've sussed it, these are the Petunias I fell on..........must be lighter than I thought!

A grateful Chezzie
