Greetings again,

  So it appears to be my morning! First a typo and then stripped-out thumbnails and the links associated with them. Delightful!

  Here are those image links again:

  Boophone haemanthoides:  http://anexaminedlife.net/house_pics/DSCN1622.JPG/
  Boophone sp. Aus:  http://anexaminedlife.net/house_pics/DSCN1623.JPG/

  Sorry for 3 emails with very little new to say!
