Re: picture sizes (was Who am I ?)

---

It appears the message with Jude's picture was held because the image was almost 10MB in size, above the limit for the list. There was another of almost 15MB from a few days ago.

I bumped up the size limit 3 times in the first days after we unmoderated the list, and for a while that seemed to be enough, so I quit checking as often for things that were held. The limit has been 5MB.

10-15MB isn't a large file by today's network standards and for people on broadband connections, but I'm aware that we have some subscribers who can't get fast Internet where they live, so I've tried to strike a balance. Also, there are some ISPs that will arbitrarily reject emails over a certain size (some surprisingly small) or worse, flag them as spam, and it already requires constant vigilance to make sure we don't show up on some spam blacklist.

I'll post Jude's message momentarily, and bump the maximum size for the list up to 10MB, but I'll ask that pictures be kept below that size, please, at least until we can see if there's any fallout. If anyone is having problems with the list because of the picture attachments, please email me privately and let me know.

Dear Jude:  No, I did not see the variegated plant that you are referring to. How can I find an image of it?

Thank you, Tom.

Did you see the other one that has one variegated leaf?

It came off the IAS table, not from a vendor's table.

Mary Nock, and others, were stumped, too.

Dear Jude:

 

I don’t mind trying to determine things from images. When they are of known origin it helps.

Tom,

Thank you so much! I have changed the name on my plant - most helpful!

Do you feel like taking a stab at the others?

All the best, Jude

Dear Jude:  I think that this may have been a name mix up with Philodendron inconcinnum.  That species name was used inadvertently more than once and the rather common species from Panama that was called P. inconcinnum Schott, eventually became a new name, Philodendron immixtum Croat.

Another purchase from GHW - he labeled it P. concinnum. After researching this, I see nothing by this name. A bit of help please?
