Thanks. One way to add a photo is to scroll down below the reply box you type your post in and click the "Manage Attachments" button. A box appears showing the max size and a line to enter the file.

Below I used that method to attach a jpg scan of some wheat I found growing volunteer. Click on the thumbnail for a full-size view.

Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

This image is Fuchsia boliviana var puberulenta. Originates from the Andian rain forest but grows very well for me. The plant is a standard as we say in the UK but a tree in the US.

The Avatar is Meriania hernandoi, I photographed it near Baeza, Ecuador and it is not in cultivation as I know

Many thanks Turtle for the help.

Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

It is different with flowering plants you can always give them away particularly in spring or early summer. The only catch today is that you have to deliver them. One guy asked me for a cutting of Fuchsia macrostigma a rare plant but still I rooted one for him and potted it up. I let him know it was ready and the answer was "about time, when are you bringing it over" over was a round trip of 180 miles so I said I was not a delivery service. I later found out that with his job he passed on the motorway within half a mile of our home twice a week. Shredding and composting is where nearly all my excess goes these days apart from the plants I grow for the Primary School where I teach Garden Science to very young children. I have done a lot of voluntary work over the years but teaching the kids is the most rewarding. If you said Egg Plant in the UK hardly anyone would know what you was talking about, they are known as Aubergines

Thats interesting...Learn something new everyday. I think Italians use eggplant in their cooking. I remember my grandfather's garden and he always had alot of aubergines!!!!!
