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...

General Forum / Apple iPad, Mac, IPhone Photo resizing.

Hi, does anyone know of a simple method of resizing photos taken on an iPhone down to the required <200kb that the forum requires without losing quality.
Bulk resizing would be great.
I have tried many times but I either lose quality or they don’t quite meet the required limit.
I would like to stress the words SIMPLE METHOD as I don’t want to be spending too much time doing this.

proposed Chaenostoma cordatum cv. Snowflake, because of the small flowers

That would be my first guess, it's a widely available garden plant...

Anybody? At the moment one of the other botanical forum I'm in touch with proposed Chaenostoma cordatum cv. Snowflake, because of the small flowers,
narrowing the research to NZ weeds. Here are some pictures https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=6803&taxon_id=501464
But I'd love to hear what you think of it

After months of cold and wet weather we have had a couple of sunny warm days. The last week has brought a good number of Spring flowers along the river, many of them are invasive, non-native species.



Leopards Bane.



Tuberous Comfrey.



Bird Cherry.



Sand Martins are back for the Summer, along with House Martins and Swallows. No sign of Swifts yet.

A wonderful presentation of Your glorious spring-garden, Leena! Its so colourful - in our part of the world hepatica and larkspurs, for example, start flowering at the end of the snowdrop-season. Your climate provides advantages one might envy You for.
