Still a few flowers around in the garden & although lots are looking a bit tired some are still coming into their own.I'm having problems uploading photos as well like balc2 at the moment with the 'spinning wheel of doom' so will leave the post for others to put their photos on for now. Sometimes it's due to a slow internet connection but it could also be a glitch on here so perhaps steve could do a check for us? |

I tried to upload 2 photos I took this morning of 2 self-sown Bacopa plants with their lovely flowers but I still can't upload anything. The first photo got to 80 odd percent as did the 2nd, but after another minute or two the first photo got to 100% & the spinning wheel! The 2nd didn't get past the 80% mark! I hope this is fixed soon!

I couldn’t see any problem and Grindle uploads a picture everyday? The only thing I could think of it may be to do with the size of the picture, a big picture will need more time to download and might time out before it posts? Next time someone has this problem maybe try reducing the size of the picture and try again.

steve it can't be the size of the photo because the one I couldn't upload yesterday uploaded with no trouble today, so it must be something else.
It's the one below lesley, the one that resembles a Geranium.

No it isn't Herb Robert SueA that comes up all over my garden, thanks anyway. This is a shrubby plant and I bring into the greenhouse every winter.

I'm going to try to upload the 2 photos that wouldn't upload correctly yesterday.
Sorry, the Bacopa is hardly visible in the above picture! (maybe because there is only the 1 flower?) Being a tiny thumbnail on the computer I couldn't see it very well when I chose it!
The one below is very much better!
I see they have uploaded correctly today!

Here's a MUCH better photo of Bacopa 'Snowstorm Blue' on the balcony today.
My two Fuchsias are doing VERY WELL on the balcony this year & are positively loaded down with flowers! I have 3 or 4 plants of each of them. The standard had almost stopped growing/flowering but now has lots of new buds forming once again!

Thanks, grindle. They are flowering very well now & I have to remove 100s of spent flowers! With the cooler weather the flowers will last longer than 1 day, in fact if it's cold they can last for several days! Seeds that fell into the narrow strip of cleared ground in front on the balcony have not only survived but are actively growing & flowering producing yet more flowers! So far the council gardeners have left them alone & I hope they will continue to do so for a couple of more months. They only flower in 3 colours & most of them are from my own saved seeds & a few my son gave me as small plants back in May this year. I will have to look for some different coloured ones next year again. While I like the purple ones, they are the "default" colour & I would like some more variation. |
