Ok, can confirm, Flickr and this site do not play well together.
Flickr doesn't give you a true link to the image, which is why you can't really embed a Flickr photo here.
Although if you go download, select the size you want, and then open it (so it just goes into your downloads folder) you can copy that and paste here. And then in theory those files in your downloads will eventually be deleted, or you can mass delete. i.e., if you don't want to truly save random photos on your laptop.
But yeah, it looks like Flickr doesn't give you a generic link, it wants to maintain control over photo hosting. (That's probably how I ended up using postimage)
Anyway, if you've taken the photo with your phone, you can upload from there, depending on the file size...
Last comment: I just made 4 test posts and deleted them. I can still see their outline but I don't know if anyone else can. Kind of interesting, wonder if they'll stay like that for me...

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"
-
Came back here to a full reply screen and used the Image icon and pasted the link.
No storage issues and I think it's pretty straightforward.
Don't know if you're posting from a phone, and if you are whether it's iOS or Android, but I'm guessing you can do pretty much the same thing...

How much does it cost to store photos on here?

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.

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!

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.

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!

BTW, how do you like that collapsible hose? I've been tempted to get one, but there are quite a few complaints about them rupturing. I think that one is a Hydro-something...from Home Depot? Great warranty, but you have to register it within 30 days of purchase...
wrote on 21 Jun 2024, 12:50 last edited by@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.

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?

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.

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

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.
