Cultivation Problems / Re: Androsace x marpensis

I believe Mike Ireland, who is on this forum, grows or grew this plant and judging by the photo of it on his website, it flowered well, so perhaps he's the one to ask!

Plant Identification Questions and Answers / Re: Athelas. AKA probably the strangest identification ever asked.

« Last post by Cris_87 on Today at 09:16:21 AM »

Thanks arisaema and Maggi.

Yes @Maggi, we all agree with you on that.
That's why I opened my previous message addressing precisely that issue.
If you read carefully, you'll find cited an entire stackexchange thread dedicated to that.

Spolier alert:
among the commentors, one claims to have been corresponding personally with the Professor, stating clearly that Athelas "has no IRL counterpart."
here the link to the comment. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/273917/174590
There's no easy way to verify the source, but that seems quite reasonable actually, qualyfing the described plant more as a mix of positive features from different species.

That's why we are focusing on the real one, the one used in the movies.
Thanks

"I have started using https://Imgur.com - it's simple and free, and they have been online since 2009 so I don't think they are going anywhere soon... Once you've chosen and uploaded a picture (top left corner: New Post), hold your mouse over the picture to make three dots visible, click them, choose Get share links and copy the third option called BBCode.

Paste it in your post here on SRGC, and..."

Test ....
It works for me as well (windows 11 laptop), so thank you Ariseama.

Leena , great Hepatica's and a lot of flower. Here it is to wait till next year. A lot of my Hepatica's in the garden didn't flower as usual maybe because of the very wet winter and spring.

Cultivation Problems / Androsace x marpensis

« Last post by Lawrence on May 07, 2024, 08:02:32 PM »

Has anyone experience of growing Androsace x marpensis in pots ? I have two which I have had for quite a few years, and still in the same pot I am ashamed to say. They are probably desperate to be potted on and wonder if anyone can recommend a suitable compost mix? There seems very little on the net re cultivation. They seem easy enough to grow but very reluctant to flower although I think Eric Jarrett grew a very floriferous plant which won a Farrer some years ago

That's a shame the module of resizing isn't enabled in the forum. That's one of the reason i don't upload photo anymore, resizing photos before showing them is time consuming.

Problem is that photo are hosted on fasthosts servers and usually this kind of companies are expensive. Nowdays we can store millions of photos full sized on storage such as google drive, amazon s3 for a reasonable cost and link photo to the forum.

SMF forum has a module that allow to use a a private S3 account with a public bucket and let people upload photos through the forum.

If an admin is interested i can help with this module, i implemented it on a private french board hosting 1.2 millions photos of insects and it works for 6 years without any problem.

Do you know how many I could add per post please.

You can add as many pictures as you'd like to a post, but you need to go through the same process and copy-paste the BBCode for each of them.
