sukhakulii x Tonsuk 'Mary'

[orcoholic]

This has always been a very reliable bloomer and a nice flower (I think).

Please critique.

Thanks, Michael

It's very, very invisible:rollhappy:

What happened? I uploaded to Imageshack and no thumbnail???

 

[Candace]

You have to insert the link to it.

Candace,

How do I do that?

 

[Heather]

Lets see if this works...

 

[Heather]

That is SWEET!

My head is too dizzy right at the moment but I'll try to work you through this tomorrow or over the weekend. Sorry for the delay, it's beautiful though!!!

 

[Elena]

Cool!

I love the photo! The golden colour on this one is very nice.
Paramount orchids gave me one recently.

Talk about wings!

How do I do that?

When you upload a photo you'll get an address for the image. In this case it's
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9248/sukhakuliixtonsuk080225kl0.jpg which will show up as a link now because I didn't want the photo to show in my posting. But if you put it between these tags

it will show up as the photo. Try it and see if you can do it.

I'm not usually a fan of suhakulii and its hybrids, but darn that is nice...I especially like the large petals.

 

[swamprad]

the suks always grab me...

 

[Greenpaph]

That one is quite different!

thanks for sharing!

Thanks Candace -

Been out of work two days and not sure when I'll have time to get back here. Appreciate your help!

 

[Park Bear]

I really like this one!!

It is not better than a good sukhakhulii actually, but it is nearly impossible to tell apart from a sukh... We had already Supersukh masquerading as sukhakhulii, but if we start to have that kind of plant around ( more vigorous, so more likely to be for long in the collections), we will loose many, many genuine species in cultivation.

Sanderianum,

I'm not sure what you mean. If the meaning is that it's possible that some unscrupulous people will put a species name on a hybrid and sell it that way, I don't think that should be a reason to not make the cross. If it doesn't provide a step forward, that's probably a good reason (unless you're just doing it for fun and not to sell.)

The petals on this has a lot more substance than a species sukh. Whether or not that's worth the making of it in the first place is a good question.

Candace,

I tried, really, I really did. Where exactly is the link? Is it after I upload to ImageShack. If so, I couldn't insert , [\IMG] anywhere I tried.

I put the picture under the posting, where it says "Upload your images to ImageShack". The place the picture is located on my computer show up in the box next to browse. I click on host it!. What exactly do i do next.

I would like the image to appear right in the posting, if possible.
