Hello Lily --
I'd love to see the picture of this Lupine, but the database interface is
so huge that it crashes my computer. Is there a way to get to that one
picture without having to load the whole database (or whatever that webpage
is trying to do on my little 56K connection)?
Thanks a bundle,
-- Susannah
