Twice I have posted pictures.  After typing the descriptions I have gone to the "Manage Attachements:" feature below and hit "browse", chose my pictures, opened them and posted.  Each time they showed up on the post when I opened "Figs4Fun".

However, they are soon gone?  What is going on? 

This time I am posting only two pictures.  Let's see if they stay.

Hi Ox,
im glad you got them posted the plant sure looks nice and healthy.
Not sure about your climate but the one picture showing lots of figs (if you have not already) on plant you can with your thumb and forfinger pinch the very end shoot right off and help the figs ripen or those particular limbs keep growing and growing vegatative growth and slowing down the ripening of the figs , i know it was discussed in another thread you posted but now i can see the plant.

Again not sure about your climate but here in mine after i pinch i keep pinching anynew shoots that come back out, reason being by the time i pinch after 5th or 6th leaf and new shoots develop and put on any figs its late.
 I dont mean to sound like a skipping 45 record . ; )

Ox i dont know why they are not showing again.
Your thumbnail are under 1 meg or management feature would not have accepted them.
I posted around 10 thumbnails and they were fine.

Don't know if this is related to why your photos aren't displaying, but I've found that if I post a photo and then go back to edit any typos in the text, then my photo disappears.

I experienced my problems with both viewing and posting
on this (good) F4F/FF as compared with the GW/FF.
Two big pluses here:
The edit feature and that one can upload pictures direct from own PC
(no need of another server like Photobucket).
{not to mention fig expertise - from host}

Here are a couple more pictures.  This time we are looking at, R to L, a Tn Mtn fig, a Texas Everbearing and a Sal's EL.  Only the Tx Everbearing put on figs this year.

The second picture is a local unknown I call "Mildred's Fig" an HChicago from Plantranch (in really bad soil; not it's fault that it has not grown) and just peeking in the right side of the picture is a sprout from Herman's MVS.  The kid who takes care of my place when I am gone let it get too dry and it just barely made it.  It is ripening about a dozen figs, and I have another young MVS planted in the bed with the Celeste and the Morle Paradiso.

2nd picture looks like VdB or Negronne to me much more than HC.  This is just my opinion, though.  I haven't seen an HC with "fingers" that long before.  All HC I've seen pics of are shorter, wider fringed fingers.  Specifically, the long span from the core of the leaf to the first bump-out of the leaf is more characteristic of either Negronne or VdB (I can't even tell you which, I just know it's one or the other).

Hope you don't find my suggestion insulting.

Jason;
That HC came from Plantranch.  I ordered an HC and a Pussy Willow.  The Pussy Willow is a variety I've never seen, a climbing vine that has in two years not bloomed.  Perhaps the HC is one we've never seen before as well. 

Fact is though, you really cannot see the HC leaves for the unknown in front of it.  I've got a couple of other HC's, from members here, so I will go and compare right now.

I am talking about the fig dominating the center of the 2nd photo you posted two replies up.

HC:  http://figs4fun.com/Thumbnail_Hardy_Chicago.html

VdB (EL) from F4F member Scott (scottga):  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/show_single_post?pid=41009846&postcount=17

Another VdB (EL) from F4F member Martin (Dieseler):  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/show_single_post?pid=41017596&postcount=23

But I say it may also be Negronne because Negronne seems to be less pointy on the tips than VdB (or something?)  Just read this whole thread for more info:

http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4785815

That is the most recent one to come up about the whole VdB versus Negronne "controversy" as I like to think of it ;)

Jason; that is a local unknown.  I got it out of Mildred's yard so to me it is simply "Mildred's fig".   The big fig in the brown container.

Ah, so sorry, I think I misunderstood.  When reading above, I thought you were saying it was "Mildreds' fig, (which is) an HC from ... blah blah blah", as you see, I added the comma in there in my brain ;)

Have you seen the fruit of Mildred's fig?  There are only a few varieties I've seen with that leaf shape.

Both my local unknowns are producing this year.  I should have ripe fruit within a week or two.  The fact is that one of them looks very much like the Morle Paradiso. 

Once upon a time Tulsa, McAlester/Krebs and Coalgate, Ok had sizable Italian colonies--coal miners.  I would not be surprised to find some good figs still hanging around OK.
