I hope you've had a good sleep, Mark.  It really is great to see them all side by side.  Interesting to see a few of my pics that you've added...... interesting to see which you have chosen.  ;D  All great stuff, thanks for putting it together for us. 8)
Cheers.

Mark , superlative !!!sincere thanks from one of a handful of really keen Crocus growers   
 in the Southern Hemisphere . It would be a most welcome Christmas present if by then   
 they all have a name  .
   
      On my screen they appear one under the other , only a few doubles side by side .     
  What can I do to rectify it ?

We have a new widescreen flat monitor and I get 6 in a line - but I haven't managed to find the work out the keystrokes to change them into snowdrops :( ;) ;)

Otto thanks.

David and Otto the names are now added. Place the cursor over the image and the name will come up. I meant to say yesterday they are in alphabetical order but I dont know why speciosus is at the top ::)

Paul I'm just up. I hardly slept last time because dreams about the forum and the new web pages kept waking me. I thought of a new page - Dactylorhiza.

Vivien I might do a snowdrop page side by side but not in the near future. I have an extra 125 photos to add since I did the new web page in 2007. Doing 154 Crocus was bad but I'm not planning to do 425 Galanthus in a hurry

Mark, this afternoon rain is forecast so I will spend some time looking through your wonderful new crocus gallery, the photos are superb and it is possible to ID photos from your individual crocus species pages - just to let you know that the rollover ID did not work for me on your gallery but not sure why? I am on a iMac.

Also it would be good to have a link on your Home or Crocus page to the gallery as I had to go back to your link in the thread post to access it.  These are just comments not complaints as I know what hard work it is to do such a big gallery of photos. However I'm sure it will be well used by forum Members and provides a wealth of knowledge and information of all sorts including Crocus in assorted tunics - which I love  ;D  8)

Robin input is what I need. The tunic page is rubbish when I think I repotted the whole collection and took no photos.

I have added the link to the web site home page.

Perfect link, thanks, and the detail just there above - two windows open in your browser for each link and ID's side by side  ;D

Just a note to anyone who already viewed Mark's new crocus extravaganza and has just gone again to see the names..... refresh the page when you get there, because I just found the rollover name reveal wasn't working because the page  http://www.marksgardenplants.com/crocus2.htm
had come out of my cache and so was the pre-name version.

Never mind the 154 crocus. Who is this new "Ragged Robin" - and I can only see one across at a time though there were a few vertically. Looking good.

Tried it, Maggi, and no names - but they all look the same to me.

Otto,
in case you use Internet Explorer following may help:

Open Marks picture page,
Click "View" and go to "Zoom". Adjust the % value manually.

Or quicker: open picture page, use short cuts: "Strg +" (=zoom in, press "Strg" & "+" bottom) and "Strg -"(=zoom out)
This works for any page. ;)

No pressure, Mark - I can wait :) :)
After all, it was your great snowdrop pages that got me hooked on them in the first place, long before I discovered this forum.

Should I be happy or worried you got hooked? My first main season snowdrops has a nose above ground

Everything works nicely for me so I'm very happy with the whole caboodle. Lovely to go back to a few times each day as the rain falls and more snow coming tonight apparently. :)
