Good topic, lastmanonthebus.
Word of warning - the image police (ie. moderators) might be onto you regarding the pixel-dimensions of your 'Salvia madrensis 1 (12).jpg'
See http://www.mgsforum.org/smf/index.php?topic=5.0: 760x560px = max. prescribed size.

I do like this Salvia. I tried growing it one year and it looked splendid, making a huge plant with several flower spikes ready to flower and just showing colour it was killed by the first frost. A few years later I saw it in this planting at the entrance to one of the parks in Oxford around the 5th of November. Obviously there had not been a frost.

Hi Mike
Not quite sure why the police will be after me as all my images were less than 250kbs.  They reject even 251.

Brian, it is not the file sizer (kbs) that is problem, but the image size, the one whith 1333x2000 pixels is much bigger than  recommended: ' For landscape-shape pictures, keep the width down to an absolute maximum of 760 pixels. For portrait-shape pictures, height no more than 560 pixels at the very most.' When you post too big photos, they will not be displayed properly.

Hi Jorun
When I tried to send a photograph of more than 250Kbs it was rejected. The police never chased me for the "Big" one and it is on the forum.  The "display" looks OK to me, even when enlarged. Maybe it is the "good quality" camera doing its job?

The file size was OK (just above 200 kb), but the image size not. When it is as large as those you sent, especially the second last one (of the stems), then it is much larger than most screens and you only see parts of it, and the image looks blurred because of the small file size (<250 kb). Your photos will look much better if you resize to the recommended image size.

lastmanonthebus, sorry to be late replying (been offline, laptop crash); I think the other folks have covered it (thanks)
