in Plants
Sometime ago I was given some seeds by a friend which she described as "Magnolia Bush" seeds. They looked like Maltesers. I put them in a container of sand and forgot them as I understood they had a long germination period (2 years). This year I noticed some growth and duly planted them in seed compost in small pots. They all have plants coming from them but my query is they don't look like Magnolias, my thoughts are that they are peony's. I would love to upload a photo but can't see a way of doing it. Anyway there are 3/4 sections to each leaf which are serrated. Any ideas? I can e.mail photo if required.

Use the camera icon in the top corner of the message box. Follow instructions. If it doesn't load you need to reduce the size.
The forum will close for a week tomorrow for a new upgrade to be launched. It will be readable during that time so load the photo quickly and you may get some answers in time.
paeony seeds are bit like Maltesers.
Make your photo smaller, the site doesn't take large ones

I'm being particularly obtuse I think. I have the icon and I have the photo in my picture gallery, but I don't seem to be able to download! Help - not done this before so feeling a bit stupid!
On my PC I can't upload direct from 'Windows Picture Gallery', I have to select it in 'My PIctures' first.
Worth a try!

The new site will take photos of all sizes, hooray!
Its just a plant in a pot! I click on the camera icon then go to my photo gallery but I don't seem to be able to download, there doesn't seem to be a thread which allows me to do this! Have tried copy and paste but that doesn't work either. Getting a bit frustrated, but once I do it I will know how. Any ideas anyone!
Don’t bother now, there’s a glitch, no one can post photos and I doubt they will bother to fix it as the new site is almost ready to go ?
Think I will wait a bit. I am in no hurry as my mystery plants are just at the "plug" stage. My greenhouse is getting a little crowded with stuff that is ready to harden, but the weather is just too cold, and I need to start getting my seeds in - but my biggest fault is that I am always trying to hurry things, forgetting that when the weather warms, it all catches up anyway. For now I am going to sit by my fire and plan and go through a couple of tomes to see if I can spot them and try again in a couple of weeks to download the photo.
Thanks everyone
