Logged in as a mod, I can see your actual deleted post.

If I'm looking at this thread as a guest, I see "This post is deleted".

And I can still see the deleted posts as well, they’re just sort of faded out (not grayed out) but the lack of being fully saturated color is what shows you they were deleted. Seems weird, I wonder if they’ll disappear eventually.

That first link you tried, the one that starts with livestaticflickr...it works.

From my Windows laptop:

I went to your Flickr account - Photostream

Did a right click on the photo, selected "Copy image address"

WTG, that’s what I was trying to find (the option to copy image link or address) and I could not find it. But at least now we know it’s an option! Thanks!

Looks like I’ll be able to do that from the desktop but not from the iPhone.

I'll keep playing with Flickr on my iPad, which should be the same as your iPhone, to see if I can figure out how to embed from there, but based on what @ShiroKuro has already found, it may not be possible. @dolmansaxlil uses Flickr, too, I think. Maybe she can chime in.

Meanwhile, @dolmansaxlil created a Shortcut for automatically resizing pics from your iPhone.

How much does it cost to store photos on here?

I'm thinking that storage is something we should be aware of, but it shouldn't keep us from sharing photos. If you can link to a host, that's great, but if you want to post a photo, go for it!

@wtg I looked at the paperwork for my collapsible hoses and they are Hydro-tech like the ones you find at Home Depot.

HD doesn’t sell them here so I get them at Walmart.

Resize in Shortcuts works!

Big leaf/mop head hydrangeas. I think they’re “Yesterday, today, and tomorrow”. The Divas in my yard - they bloom beautifully all summer but they need a lot of water and if they don’t get it they react very dramatically.

ShiroKuro

oooh I love those hydrangeas!!! Ours are starting to bloom, and I think they're white oakleaf

ShiroKuro

btw I can see Steve's "this post is deleted" post too. With my deleted posts, I can see the original message I typed, but for Steve's, it just shows "this post is deleted"

You won't be frowning in a few weeks, or in the autumn, if they're oakleaf hydrangeas...

BTW, do the stems have kind of shaggy bark on them?

ShiroKuro

Why, what happens in fall?

Or do you just mean, once they start blooming? We'll see how they look, but while the rounded blooming hydrangea is one of my all time favorite flowers, I really don't like oakleaf hydrangea blooms, at least not the ones I saw where we lived in the SE.

wtg

Well, a few things.

There are pink flowered oakleaf hydrangeas, but even the white ones will turn a pinkish color as they mature.

And the leaves can get beautiful fall color.

But then, I think this looks lovely. I prefer the conical flowers to the round ones. And I like the horizontal habit of the oakleaf. A lot of the other hydrangeas are just round.

And I think the shaggy bark on the stems provides an interesting element in winter.

Guess it's no surprise that oakleaf hydrangeas are in the wtg top 10 favorite shrubs list

ShiroKuro

Thanks for all the info WTG

I'll go take a photo later and share it. I think this bush probably needed to have been.. I don't know, pruned? It's top heavy and thin on the bottom half, which isn't great. And I think the blooms are going to be white, at least initially.

We'll see, I may warm to it.
