Re: They're back...

No, but I don't have lilies anymore, got fed up of just looking at stalks
I bought a couple at Wilkos and had some more on my shopping list for this year. Sounds like I'm wasting my time as I'll never manage to patrol my garden twice a day to keep on top of them.
Do they really get that prolific?

Re: the worlds most expensive palm

:lol: :lol: Not quite sure what everyone is getting wound up about. The man is perfectly in his right to advertise his Trachycarpus at a stupid price if he wants to, not like he's forcing anyone to buy it. You should really be mailing any mug placing a bid although I'm sure it will go unsold. Anyway...

Embedding images in pms

Can you embed images in pms? Appreciate you can probably link to Flickr etc. but can you actually attach/ embed an image directly into the message as I haven't managed to work that one out .... Then again I haven't tried hard :lol:

Re: HTUK Forum Post Rates

I wonder if I should do the "Hey, its 9am and I'm at Akamba and put sold stickers on everything" post on the meet day?
You may also see a 'hey, I'm choking on my new phone" post at 9.15am if that's the case :lol: :lol:

Re: How's your knuckles? (Tree Ferns)

Is that Dicksonia antarctica a new import? May also still be a bit mixed up in the seasons, most of mine settled down after a while sending out croziers at more suitable times. If you get another cold spell that frond is toast or you snap it trying to cover. Are your crowns still protected since the...

Re: Google maps: exotic spotting for rainy days

Yes, that Butia was pretty large to start with I think when planted. It's a single specimen plant, the rest is slate chips. So all the cash spent in one go :) Very maintenance free I guess and goes with the house, minimalist :wink:

Re: Google maps: exotic spotting for rainy days

Yes Mark, not everyone has been captured on film. My road for instance has been missed, it seems they never bothered driving to the end of it although it's a busy throughway. You can spot a fire engine in the distance, I suspect it may have been blocked that day. Alex, Strawberry Vale for those peop...

Re: Blechnum Chilense

I find the fronds very brittle so would suggest not to plant next to a pathway like I have. Seems to multiply well too ......

Re: Google maps: exotic spotting for rainy days

Mark, Once you are on the maps bit you see a slider on the left for zooming. Above is a little yellow man, you need to drag that onto the road on the map you want to view, the general view will change to streetmaps and you can navigate from there on. There is another setting that also allows you to ...
