Flowers! Part 2

Continuing my last post, I found a bunch more wildflowers. I got some of them identified (with the help of my aunt) but many are still a mystery.

Wow!

I have to look at these a little at a time, as I can't load the whole array, and my usual plan B of opening each image separately doesn't work with photobucket. I cannont believe the variety, and the number which are natives. That azalea is beautiful, and that mariposa lily! And the beautiful little purple ones. When you said "desert flowers" I thought of, like, a prickly pear or an aloe with some weird cactus flower.

You should try right clicking on the image and then "open image in a new tab". It may work better for you.

That is what I usually do. With Photobucket these days I can't get to a straight image file-- that takes me to a photobucket page with the image-- and all the ads, etc. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I haven't fooled around enough to figure it out yet, or I'm too stupid.

Are you using Firefox (or worse, Internet explorer)?

Firefox is good for a few things, but chrome is where its at. When you right click and open an image in new tab it doesn't redirect you to Photobucket.

I use a Chrome knock-off because of my hate for Google. My main back-up is Opera. Firefox for getting everything right and FTP. I don't use IE at all, as I can't even update past IE 8. Just FYI. Chrome is glitchy, but it's faster, which makes a difference to me.

Okay. I may have a solution.

If you're using firefox, right click and "copy image location" then just simply open a new tab by yourself and paste the url you just copied. In theory that should work and wont redirect you to photobucket.

Tried that too, didn't work. I didn't have a chance to poke around the element; anyway, I figured doing that for each picture would take as long as just waiting it out.

I also just changed the coding on the pic a bit.

See if that helps!

OH CACTUS FLOWERS. I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE.

I don't think they are in bloom yet though.

BAH, I spent a large part of my childhood picking bits of cactus our of my shoes and pants.

But yes. We have pretty sorts of flowers too. Im seriously jealous of my aunts Azalea now. It usually grows in fairly damp shady forest areas, so the fact she convinced it to grow in her fairly dry/sunny yard is impressive. Im now wondering If I could plant some in that green lush corner of our yard (where there is almost a spring that doesn't quite come to the surface). It would probably like it there.

The desert lily is amazing. Its one of my favorites!
