igor.glukhovtsev · 2013-03-17T10:50:33Z

Had a chance to check my exotic plants today. There not too many to be shown but still...The coldest weather registered in December: t min - minus 30 C, t max - plus 9.4 C, t mean - minus 11.6 C. January: t min - minus 20 C, t max - plus 12.5 C, t mean - minus 6.6 C; February: t min - minus 21 C, t max - plus 10.7 C, t mean - minus 5.9 CAucuba protection and the plant uncovered:Palms. I have two palms (Fortune and Waggy) planted in my garden close to a western side of my house. Wheat straw blocks used for building a shelter. No additional heat inside. The palms have been being protected from the 15th November till the 16th March.The Wagnerianus looks much-much better than the Fortune:Two Fatsia plants and Phormium tennax (the purple form) were planted close to the north side of my house. This was a second winter for Fatsia and first winter for Phormium:One more Fatsia plants grows in the garden. There was a pot, some straw mulch and the snow as a winter protection. Yes there is some damage but the plant is alive for sure:Some more plants:

HTML codes (embedding) don't need the IMG buttons.

But maybe that's why all the text after a photo is in color. 😐

Found some Magnolia grandiflora overwintered uncovered at one garden center. Looking nice and undamaged.

Would've been totally covered in snow this winter?

Nice temperatures Igor!

I don't know if they were covered in snow. Most likely they were. But still...
Yes, we have a whole week warm like the end of April weather....

Tried inserting hhtp. I don't know. I might need to replace my brain...

Please, somebody copy my image, insert it in a message and give me the whole algorithm? Otherwise... I don't know. I wont feel myself a such stupid!

Cursor on photo, right click "save image as"
Open hard drive/download/pic file on computer.
Ctrl-V (to paste it).

Then open photo hosting site (Flickr in my case).
Upload photo to Flickr site (even though it's not my own picture).

Then click on photo in Flickr.
Choices for share come up on screen:
Select "grab the HTML code" after you select which size you want.

starts with <a href BUT ENDS WITH ></a>

so if I insert that entire HTML here, I get this:

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8574298611/" title="Magnolia_grandiflora by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="800" height="600" alt="Magnolia_grandiflora"></a>

Barb, as I understood from your explanation I should upload a pic to a host site (Flickr, Picasa Web etc.) first and then.... I couldn't upload a pic to the PalmsNorth strait from my PC? It's kind of weird... So if somebody has no an account at Flickr or Picasa Web he(she) or she (he) is not able uploading the images?

I couldn't upload a pic. to the PalmsNorth strait from my pc?

I wasn't able to do that either.
So I quit trying and bought Flickr...think it's $29 for unlimited photo storage.

Maybe somebody else loads right from their hard drive...HALLOOOOOOO PEOPLE!!!!! ????

Burb, I'm LUCKY man. I have no credit card anymore. I have my "limited" Flickr account but never used it. I mean I don't want to spend my time uploading the pics prior uploading them to the PN shreds. It's time consuming thing I guess.

You have a good point.
I just like having a repository for all my photos without loading up my hard drive.

Maybe another member here can explain how/if they upload pics directly from their hard drive.

Hi Igor,

yes, I upload the photos to Photobucket. Then I use the link from Photobucket to insert it into PalmsNorth. Not many message boards will allow direct upload from the computer. 😥
