Yes, Denise, it is sunny here most days (although yesterday was a chilly 58!)! I'll post more as I'm able. :)

Colleen, I had 2 of those E. subsessilis 'M.L.' & now, the one left is a very small rosette compared to its glory days. Sadly, that Kal. is gone.

Howard, I'm not sure which species can be attributed to E. 'Tippy'. E. lindsayana has been lumped in with E. colorata now. E. chihuahuaensis is another that is very similar. So most times now, when I'm trying to ID one like this, it proves very confusing. Nice plants you have there!

Now, as for how I posted pix in that manner...I'm posting from my iPhone while I wake up with my coffee...& I believe I'll need ALL my fingers to type that out. LOL I'll be baaaack....when I'm on my laptop!

How to post the thumbnails as I have above...using Photobucket~

First, the link you gave to Aveo in another post about how to post pix had some good info--but was not complete. I suppose it best not to overwhelm. But since you asked specifically...I'll do the best I can to explain.

It is best to have GW open in one tab & PB open in another, so you can go back & forth (if need be). It is also best if all the pix you want to post are all in the same album in PB. Then you don't have to jump around (especially if you make a goof & have to go back to recopy code).

Okay~Go to your PB album.
1) Hover over a pic you want to include & mark the box directly beneath the pic. Go to the next pic, repeat & so on~till you have selected the ones you want. If you are going to do ALL the pix in the album, you can skip this part.
2) Scroll down to bottom of page (here you can check box to Select All-if that is what you want) Click on Choose action.
3) From drop down menu, select "Generate link codes for selected"
4) Code link page shows up: select 1st section "Clickable thumbnails" (if will briefly show the word "copied"-then fade)
5) Go back to tab for GW
6) Insert what you copied into your post (or your reply) by right-clicking mouse to Paste
7) I change the code so it does not put just one pic per line. I have found that 4 thumbnails across works best. (You will probably Preview Message many times before clicking the Submit button)
8) First, I highlight & delete the code for centering at the beginning & the end of the group pic urls. (left arrow center right arrow ~ and the end code has a forward slash in it) You can leave it if you want-I'm not sure what it looks like with blocks like these. I forget. :) Taking it out lines up photos to the left edge.
9) The way you get one pic next to another: at the end of each pic url (which is indicated by a left arrow, a forward slash, an 'a', & a right arrow) Looks like the following without the spacing I put in: < / a > ...you place your cursor after the right arrow, then click space bar once & delete button once. You can go Preview Message to see if it worked, but when back to make corrections, it's sometimes tricky to find your place/where you left off. LOL
10) Repeat the space/delete sequence after 2 more photo urls. (You will get good at counting photo urls to figure out where you are.)
11) After 4th pic url, you want to make a line space (to separate the rows), so hit Enter key twice.
12) Now on to the next block (row) of pix, if there are more...go back to 9) and do again.
13) It's up to you how many you have in a row. Just Preview Message to check everything before you Submit! You might have gotten 3 in the row instead of 4 & have to go back to adjust. It's good to make note of which pic is out of whack -if named- to find the url with that name to change spacing, etc.

If you have really short filenames, this will be much easier than when I do it, as mine are very long, making it more fun finding the end of the urls! Also, if you have a free acct, PB sticks an additional blurb in the urls to take folks to pages with advertising. You can delete this if it's there, but I think I'd confuse more if I tried to explain.

Remember... EACH time you make a change, you have to click the Preview Message button or the change will not be made when you click on Submit Message.

If you goof on something, you can always go back~restart or recopy. It just take a bit more time...if you have it! Once you've done it a few times, it'll be a cinch!

If I'm not clear or you have more questions, just ask!
Good luck!

I questioned which Echeveria because this was rather large & I read 'PvN' only grew to about 6 inches across.

I collect plants for their color, shape, flower, uniqueness...and ability to stay alive...despite my neglect (having a crazy busy life)!

On the Cactus Shades... great idea!!! :D Look for an email from me, Ryan, so I can get your snail mail address to send them to you! I'll set up a post about it once I've mailed them off. You'll have to send them to Jessica next!

I think what I'll do is see who is interested...in the separate post & then gather snail mail addresses. We'll try to keep the shades in the same box for traveling (sturdy enough not to break these things-sm enough not to cost too much postage) & maybe a small notebook to serve as a log ("guest book"?). Each person will take a pic of themselves with the shades & post the pic. Each will record their username on GW, real name (if you want), place where pic is taken (city/state/country/whatever location) & date, and send along to the next GW'er. We'll see how far it travels & how long it takes!! Are you game???

Thank you, Ronda! I am lucky to live in a place that offers such a wide variety of succulents for my pickings! Many times, the coloring I get in my plants is attributed to neglect...or what I like to call their "California tan"! Many are stressed plants. Some folks frown on that. I wish ALL folks could find all these plants! Best I can do is share my pix of them. =)

I have been cheating using pix I took long ago, rather than processing the new pix. (I have over 50,000...and time is limited!) Again, I must run!

WOW! It worked, Rosemarie..... those are some GREAT instructions.... you are definitely ready for prime time and maybe a book offer Author, Author, Author ..... LOL

You will have to give me a tutorial on how you take your pix (background), as well as how (what program, etc.) you use to insert the names on them (~sideways, even?! Do you name it & then turn the pic?). What font is that you use? I like it!
