The other week I bought a plant at B&Q. The tag has gone missing so I
don't
know what it is.

It's like a small orange tree (30cm high ish) with small orange fruit
on,
although it's not quite the same as the one they are selling at the
moment
for Mothers' Day.

Solanum? Are the fruit smooth and marble sized?

No. Marble sized but more like a minature orange.

Citrus mitis?

Brown leaves doesn't sound good.
Have you kept it *too* moist?
Where have you kept it?
Any fine spiders webs on the tips of the shoots? Any round brown scales
on the underneath of the leaves?

How about Calamondin? I have seen some of these in garden centres recently along with mini lemons.

Thats it! I think.

I'll post a pic of it tomorrow.

The question is - how can I make it better?

Yes it is a picture posted to a non binary newsgroup.

My server seems to have blocked the entire original post thankfully.

Which a lot of us can't even see since our ISP removes them, so it's a

I even got a rather snotty email from the original sender of the binary
tonight complaining about my earlier post in this thread. Says they are a
novice Usenet poster which seems obvious, also now an ignored novice.

Novices should learn by their mistakes not criticise those who point them
out?

Well, I guess if people give snotty and ill thought replies , which I guess
were meant to be *whitty*, like those in this thread ( surprises me given
the usual standard of response here - shame on you all!) then I guess you
can expect the OP to be upset.

Surely a simple, sorry this group doesnt take binary pictures and *I* cant
see it would be better.

Some of us on the other hand do not have machinery which is floorewd by
binary and do not have net nanny ISP's who remove them for us!

I could see the picture. I reckon a lot could and are afraid to say because
of the silly and in some cases downright nasty replies saying so is
likely to cause

Unfortunately I am sorry, I dont know what the plant was, it looked like a
form of wild fennel to me.
I could identify the bamboo cane, the leg ( kneee down) and the bag of
compost / irish peat? next to it.

Much better

I doubt whether the OP cares a damn whether *I* can see it. The point I
was making was that several ISPs trim off binaries so that the OP was
posting in a way that made sure that a good number of those from whom he
was seeking advice were not in a position to be able to give that
advice.

If it were only me that couldn't see it, it wouldn't matter in the
slightest, from the pov of the OP getting his answer.

Well, great! So you don't need to pay attention to established
conventions.
