Cool. Yeah, those cacti are tough.

Thes eplants will rot here before then can get flowers. That is, outdoors.
Indoors you'd need a high ceiling. The question mark was because I wasn't sure I
used the right frase/word/term (here I go again).

I wonder why you post your JPG as a progressive type and not as a 
straight type? First image I posted was progressive and nearly everybody 
fell over me :-(  
BTW it is nice and life-like, I wouldn't want to cut myself with it :)

Progressive is smaller, and no one ever gave me any trouble over it.. if
it's a problem, someone let me know, and I'll turn it off.

The standard viewer of my newsreader doesn't accept progressive jpg's; I 
have to resort to another one. But if I'm the only one: don't bother... 
I'll do that.

Ah, no need. It's only a small reduction in filesize anyway; I'll turn
it off.
