Mark,

Even with a hard refresh I don't get the names popping up.  Maybe something to do with using Firefox though?
Cheers.

I use Firefox as well --same result as you with names not popping up --however if i right click to view an individual pic the name appears--(not in the pic but in a tab above).

Using firefox I don't get names on mouseover, but if I use internet explorer I get the names when I hold the cursor on each pic.
The code used must only work for microsoft internet explorer

Using internet explorer this is what I see

To view names on a Mac using  Firefox :
1. Place cursor/arrow over pic, click,
2. At same time press Control
3. Select "View Image"
Large pic opens in new window with name displayed top left.

This also works with Safari:
Perform 1 & 2,
3. Select "Open Image in New Window"
Large pic opens with name in bookmarks bar

Interesting to hear the method for those folks with Macs and Firefox, Gerry, but it would take rather a long time to see all the names that way... with new windows opening each time..... seems that the IE/pc version where the name appears with a cursor hover is the more user friendly system this time  ::)

If you are using Firefox on a PC, right-click on the picture then chose 'Properties'. You will then get a floating box which has the name of the crocus at the bottom.

This is what one gets with Firefox (I have cropped the window to the actual pic size).

Quite so, Gerry, but I am being told all the time of how little time some people can spare for browsing and I try to be mindful of their needs.  :-X

Mark, thanks for your wonderful crocus page. What a splendid way to open another crocus season (the first of the autumnal crocuses are just poking up here). And thanks, too,  for going back and adding the names.

Thanks David and Jim.

A suggestion has come in. I have been given a tip that should help everyone. Go back to
http://www.marksgardenplants.com/crocus2.htm press F5 to refresh the page. Place the cursor over the top left image. Does the name come up?

It's important for you to reply to say yes or no and what you are using for a computer and the internet eg IE, Firefox, Mac ..
