      When you post a comment, below the text entry box, where you type, there are three blue buttons, right-justified...

      “Post Reply” , “Upload a File” and “More Options...”.

      Edited: sorry, oh Wise One, I see you’d already covered that...!

          You really need to clear up the interface. Many of you users will be elderly and probably half senile (like me) and you need something that is absolutely straight forward.

          Ipad is way too expensive for me. I have a normal desktop computer. In any case I don't see how you override the forum interface which is what I am complaining about ...

            The shrub looks like a (sickly) Camellia.

              Hi @Berberis Artista the leaves don’t look quite the right shape for a Camellia could it be a Myrtle bush.? Myrtle is a bushy medium-sized evergreen shrub with small, aromatic, ovate leaves and profuse white flowers 2cm in width, followed by purplish-black berries here.. Myrtle like Cammellia and Rhododendrons all need acidic growing conditions. Looks to me like you don’t have acidic soil, but you can overcome that to a point with feed now that it is planted...

                BTW @Berberis Artista sadly Imgur links are not compatible with GC I just tried it.. There are very few Image host sites that are not compatible with GC and sadly Imgur is one that isn’t compatible.. Most people will upload from their pc straight to GC if they are not on an image compatible site.. :SUNsmile:

                  Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

                  Any idea what these shrubs are, and can I cut them back now?
