John i can't speak for everybody but i think thats lovely was it in your garden?


Hello Davey and all,

No it was not in my garden. I bought it Saturday at a nursery in a pot full of common green elwesii for only 2 euros.  So no cow pat involved :-). If it is a true yellow, than I was just lucky. Will see next year if it keeps the color. I am planning to plant it in the garden and will see.

Thanks.

A tiny seedling now flowering for the first time, with nivalis 'Virescens' blood in it, showing as green marks on the outers.

And the same flower with my thumb nail to show the scale.


I like it. 8)

Gerard would you be so kind and reduce your photos to 700 or 750 pixels wide. I cant view your images on my laptops small screen

I use the scroll bars Mark, it means you can see the picture more closely if not all at once ;)

I could not see any scroll bars on Gerard's photos  ???

You won't see a scroll bar unless it's necessary because the picture is too big to fit on the display.

Your monitor will be set to a display resolution of X by Y pixels.  Broadly speaking, if the picture you are viewing has more than X pixels across or Y pixels down then it should be displayed with a scroll bar.

John, your HUGH MACKENZIE is a stunner!!! I like good greens.

Hagen - it was your thoughts that convinced me to get 'Hugh Mackenzie' when I was asking you for advice about ones with green on the outers.   8)

And I am very grateful you did - each year it has put a big smile on my face.  Slow to increase - but large and lovely and green.   ;D

I have seen scroll bars before, but this time, although picture was too large and I could not see the mark, no scroll bars.

If I click on Gerard's pictures, and they fit on the screen, there are no scroll bars.  But if I make the 'pane' smaller so that I can only see a bit of the picture, the scroll bars magically appear.

Very nice, Gerard, and perfectly clear.

We have been advised that the 760 pixels wide is a good one for the set up of the forum... and  I think this is a good guide.
