A friend gave this to me early in the year and its blooming like crazy! This is one of the few non orchids I grow. Enjoy!

And the new flicker is not all that user friendly. Does anyone know how to put pics here in OB that just pop up when you click on them rather than linking the pics to the flicker website?

Nice one.
I use the 'manage attatchments' button in the 'new thread page'. All my pics are on my computer, so I just browse the right folder and upload from there. I suppose you could upload them from anywhere else, too.

I haven't used the manage attachments button in years so I've completely forgotten about it. Maybe thats the way to go!

I grew those for a while for the hummingbirds. Now I grow a pom tree.

I was wondering if this plant would attract hummingbirds. I'll have to keep an eye out for some!

I was told this one will start wilting once the nighttime temps get above the 70's. I'll bring this one inside when that happens and grow it under lights. These guys like it pretty shady, so this little plant won't have to take up valuable real estate directly under the lights.

Really beautiful!

Take a look in my signature for the link for photo advise. I show three methods, one of which is the 'attachments' method you are talking about.

Personally I really like the new Flickr, I was using it a lot last night and kept finding things that were improved from the old one. Oh well, I seem to be in the minority because I know a lot of people don't like it.

Fushias are really pretty I had one as a present ages ago
But it died, I keep seeing White Fushias posted online
I never this colouring existed

I've got a collection of other plants I keep to aswell as Orchids, eg. I've got 5x various Palm Trees, Yucca, Bird of Paradise, Cyclamen and Spider Plant lol

My Partner isn't happy he thinks I'm obsessed to bad he
Bought me a Orchid now I want tons more of those to lol

I'll check out your signature line for more photo posting tips. Thanks!

As for the new Flicker, almost everyone complains about new program features because they don't like change! I also really like the new Flicker, but posting here in OB has become difficult. I like being able to post from flicker (rather than uploading as an attachment from my computer), but I haven't figured out how to do it without having the picture lead directly to Flicker when its clicked on.

To be honest, I didn't know anything about fuchsia's until I got this one!
