Richard Loader replied to Philip Voice's discussion 'How do you remember plant names?'

I'm not sure how I do it, it just works - I can identify and name a plant I've never seen apart from a picture in a book 40 years ago, but introduce me to a person and I can forget their name within minutes, seconds even, on a bad day.....sometimes…

Flock it...

I see more and more interest in social networking, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Flickr etc. etc.
Having set things up though it's easy to let ones interest wane and fail to keep up-to-date with the goings on within the various groups.
I'm finding a spin-off web-browser based around FireFox to be a real help in keeping track of the groups that I belong to. The browser is called 'Flock' and has all the speed and excellent features of Firefox with the bonus of good social network monitoring built in… Continue

How to manage, upload, crop, caption, and watermark your images for free

Google has a way of quietly working away on their products and without a big fuss they release a mature, user friendly application that is a million miles from the half baked application they started with. Picasa is one of these applications, it's always had some good features but with the release of version 3.1.0 most of the omissions have been addressed.

I'm please to see that you can now add text, that makes it possible to add plant names, locations and watermarks easily to your images......… Continue

Many a true word spoken in jest

Having been in Garden Centre retail for 20 years I find this so well observed, especially the last bit........maybe of limited appeal. WDYT?

I still have not worked out how to add you as admin but I will :)

How is the photography going?

Thanks for the comments, we have so much stock for the bank holiday weekend we felt comfortable on Tuesday but today with such a poor weather forecast confidence has fallen steeply.
Went to Chelsea yesterday, felt very disappointed, the gardens were great but every thing is focused to the media who had a massive and somewhat intrusive presence, giving coverage every night of the week is great but then with the interactive side as well it was a case that you were never more than 10ft from a BBC employee or am I getting the rat fact muddled here.
Will post some pictures onto the website this weekend as there will be little else to do at work.
Regards
David

These photos are just beautiful. I love the ones of the tree-lined lanes. I haven't been to the New Forest for years, are these taken there?

What time of day is best for garden photography, I suppose it depends on the time of year and colour scheme?
