Riz, I have somewhat slow computer. I waited 5 minutes for all the pictures to show. I think most gardeners have slow computers. I think you are using small views of giant images in the front page. If you can replace the small views of giant images by smaller images, the page can load a lot faster, well, at least for me.

Riz thanks for the link to your page. The photos are wonderful and they loaded instantly for me. I hope you don't mind, but I looked at some other pages as well and the pictures with the pandas are amazing! I'm so jealous - I would love to hold a panda on my lap like that.
How wonderful to spend a year in China searching for plants. It seems like all of the plants I love the most originated in China. Good luck on your research and thanks for the tour.

I'm sorry the pages took so long to show. I tried making most of the images into thumbnails so they could be smaller, but I don't have much control about how they load on others computers. I'm still very new at web page building.

Please feel free to browse the other pages and thank you for the compliment, Jackie, it was such a tremendous experience. I hope to go back again soon!

Cheers,

Riz
