    so @steephill and @steveTu … did you not see the photos @Hostafan1 posted of the adult Gt. spotted woodpecker feeding the young one?

    I could see the woodpecker photos, but typically with Hosta's photo posts, I just get whatever comment and nothing else (I don't normally get the 'No Description' bit).

    Most peculiar … I wonder what was different about them … do we have any folk clever with IT with an explanation/solution?

    Here's what I meant by the hover text - the image is obviously there.


    ...I thought it was my browser, as I tend to use a non-standard setup (Firefox on Linux).
    It's been quite humorous at times though, as I get Hosta's basic comments, and then a stream of posts saying 'how lovely' or whatever without having a clue as to what the others are seeing!

    It’s usually @Hostafan1 showing photos of himself, in his clubbing gear.

    You are too modest @Hostafan1, the leather Lederhosen are spectacular.

    I killed a Pelargonium tomentosum by treating it as other Pelargoniums when it's actually more tender. With that knowledge I was going to buy another, when I saw one on the 'honesty wall' round the corner (plants along a garden wall, put the money through the letterbox). Unlabelled but I knew it was what I was after, and it was big enough to take a couple of security cuttings too. But this evening when I went to pot it up, I discovered that what looked like one plant was actually four good-sized rooted cuttings. So now I have four good plants fir the price of one and didn't have to do anything 😁
