[edit] Flickr
Hi Eric -
Welcome to Wikipedia, Small world! I'm fairly sure I know you from Flickr. I hope you enjoy your time here as an editor. David, aka Petrichor MidgleyDJ 03:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Columnea flexiflora
Hi Eric--
I have a question about the beautiful photo of Columnea flexiflora you posted. Where did this plant come from, and did you receive it under that name? The flower looks very similar to the plant I have seen under this name (see this photo), but the foliage is completely different. MrDarwin 16:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
A friend here in the Bay Area grows the plant. It was tagged under an older synonym, but I don't recall the synonym now. I'll have to check with the friend, but I think the plant came from Ecuagenera, the big orchid grower from Cuenca/Gualaceo, Ecuador. --Eric in SF 16:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rhododendron occidentale
I like the new picture that you put in the article. The frills and coloration suggest that this too is a picture of the cultivar 'Leonard Frisby'. Can you confirm that? Bob 20:53, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I'll check with the Strybing and see if they have cultivar info in their accessions DB. --Eric in SF 23:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
While you are at it (and since you take such good photos) perhaps you could provide a photo of a different R. occidentale where the foliage is visible (and typical). I would not object to a (discretely done: similarly to the R. decorum) column of photos on the rhododendron page and the R. occidentale page. Bob 01:20, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
