Michael,

OK, I give up.... on your ID pic of the Wendy's Gold at the end of the last page.... the second pic is entitled Galanthus and Hepatica leaves...... Other than the Gal, I can only see Rhododendron leaves in the picture?  or are there new versions of Hepaticas that are a little different to my experiences?  ;D

I'm seeing them too Paul.

I wondered about that, too, but I think I came to a reasonable answer... though we'll see what the man himself says... I believe "Galanthus and Hepatica" leaves are simply the name for the file where Michael has these pix stored..... 8) ??? ::)

You got it in one Maggi, that is the file name. Remember I am using Vista and some of the programmes are not compatible,so sometimes things do not work out as intended.
I would have to load each picture under a new file name,and I don't have the time to do that.
Cheers.

Michael.

no time! A photo can be named twice. Once you save an edited image immediately resave again under a different name

Thanks Mark, I am beginning to think that this forum is more interested in finding fault than a genuine interest in plants. Some of our none English speaking members often make  mistakes which I fully understand, and would never consider correcting. They are
doing their best under the circumstances which is exactly what I am doing.
I will have to seriously consider if I should continue to partake in this forum.

Just got word  that my brother is dead, so goodbye.

Michael,

So sorry to hear of your brother's death. My sympathies are with you on this sad occasion.

Regarding the forum: yes indeed, there are times when some (No, not you Maggi if you are reading this) take on the role of correcting other people's postings, naming of plants etc but please don't let this put you off. It is not something that is a general practice and the vast majority of members are simply the best in the world and certainly welcome your contributions and continued participation. And anyway, you do need to show these Brits and mainlanders how to grow plants properly.

This is precisely why I enjoy this site so much. Such comments force me to scramble to the books and photos to research a possibly mis-named plant in my collection. 

Condolences Michael and I do hope you will return.
