Hi again,

As further proof of my addiction, I thought I'd put up two of the desktop wallpapers I made a while back using ONLY MS PAINT. No Photoshop EVER...all you need is a clear vision in your head (these are not actual cultivars) and being a good mouser. In my case, a left handed mouser.

With only MS PAINT, you can do almost anything, including honing parts of the image you are creating, pixel by pixel should you want.

Oh dear! I uploaded them and they did not appear! I then checked and both bmp files exceed the size allowed! hold on, I will try to make them smaller.

K, I need to make them even smaller, and I cut both by half already.

K, I made them both jpegs and then even smaller; not sure if they will even be visible but here goes......

VERY lovely! For me, esp given it appears to lean more toward peach thak pink. I have a standard one, pale pink with nice webbing....very reliable bloomer. But no way as charming as your mini.:biggrin:

Thanks! I have one that is very similar, but it doesn't have these clearly defined lines and is very pink. I love pink, but this was different because it was much more vibrant and instead of a wash of color in the center of the bloom, there were these clearly defined veins. It was in the back corner of the display and it still managed to catch my eye. :)

Simply watch for some point at which you are moved to start giving away yr furniture to make more room to grow.
