Dear Frank,

That looks like M. bombycina.

And, like the rest of your plants, it's grown and photographed quite well.

Does this mean you're going to collect the rest of the Mammillarias, and then create The Definitive Mammillaria Website?

Dear Frank,

Upon further reflection, I seem to painfully remember that M. bombycina has hooked spines, so my guess may be incorrect.

Old Al clicked on and enlarged the first thumbnail to reveal what just might be hooked spines. Mr. Harris' suggestion might not have bombed.

Is he still in the running?

By Golly, you just can't keep a Terrapin down, no matter how hard you try (I wasn't, btw). I looked at pic #3 only, and it looked like straight spines all throughout, but Old Al has shown me the light.

Dear Frank,

Indeed, I may be correct.

Would you tell me if the code for the pictures (the HTML, I guess) is visible? I still want to learn how to line them up, but can't seem to put more than one picture on a line - sorry to bother you, but I'm simple-minded.

M. bombycina of course!
I remembered it sounding similar to M. bocasana and at the same time knew this name being wrong.
Thank you Jeffrey!

Tidy-minded people, particularly those who learned programming, use to write code in separate lines:
1st command (carriage return)
2nd command (carriage return)
3rd command (carriage return) etc.

Forget about that!

If you write the codes for the clickable thumnails separated by spaces only instead of carriage returns you get a mess in result that however places the thumnails side by side. A member of this forum (can't remember her/his name, sorry!) teached the trick some months ago.

Dear Frank,

That's just what I did (separate with just spaces) the codes for the individual thumbnail pictures and the result was still that my pics (three of them) were on separate lines, rather that side by side, like yours (see my Super Bum post). Oh well, I'll keep trying.

Thanks.

Jeff, your thumnails and a BR tag between each image, and also a BR tag inside the link. In addition, they are actually on separate lines, they need to be all on the same line to get the effect you want.

Here's a screen capture of the code. This is easier than trying to get HTML to show up in a post :)

Dear Ian,

Thanks very much - now I just need to mentally masticate on the masterpiece you've given me.
