I have added new images to the wiki of _Tulipa sprengeri_ and
_Triteleia grandiflora howellii_ with a few remarks. Unlike my first
attempt last week, these images have indeed been properly hooked up
to the relevant page.
There is some temporary difficulty with the image at

Triteleia_grandiflora_howelli_RW_1.jpg
but as soon as Mary Sue or Susan can get a chance, this mixup should
be straightened out toot sweet.
The new images of Sprenger's tulip capture the flower's glowing
color. The image previously uploaded did not do so, though it gave
some idea of how this tulip fits into the garden picture.
The secret to capturing this tulip's color more or less realistically
was to reduce the saturation on my little Sony digital camera, plus
photographing it in full sun. Flower colors can be notoriously
difficult to capture with any faithfulness, so this may be a useful
formula for other PBS list subscribers having color troubles to use.
