Centranthus ruber, Red Valerian. Here is a link that might be useful: Google image results

thanks for the lovely photos!!

Nice to see youÂre still checking in around here every now and then, BP! Thanks for the response. IÂve always kind of wondered how the search results are displayed, and I guess thereÂs no one answer then! I was just totally flabbergasted when I saw people had looked at that one picture that many times. Later yesterday I went thru some of my other albums and was amazed to see that some of the other pics had been viewed 300 or 400 times. I still can hardly believe it. I know when Skip still owned GW, almost any search about gardening came up with GW in the first few links, but since iV took over, you donÂt often see that. Never heard of google bombing before, but just read up on it in Wikipedia. Interesting! I have definitely not been google bombing, and still canÂt believe some of the things IÂve posted have gotten enough hits to move them that far up. Guess itÂs just trying to think in computereze at my extreme age! When I was checking the pics yesterday, I was really surprised to find that some of the swap pics had gotten a lot of hits! I couldnÂt figure out any rhyme or reason to which ones were viewed a lot and which werenÂt And, Digit, hey there! YouÂve got me beat! When I googled those fancy Asian veggies, you came up NUMBER ONE! Congratulations! When IÂm posting here on RMG I always just think of it as talking to the people I know here, and the lurkers we all know are hangin out around here, but I never really think of it as going "outside" of our friendly little community here. Seems like maybe I should try to be more aware of where this stuff might "go," but I probably wonÂt actually think about it when IÂm posting. Oh, well! Just have to start to clean up my language! ;-) You post a lot of pics, Bonnie. Do you get any sort of a count on how many people view yours? If you do, check it out. You might be surprised too. Still in disbelief, Skybird

Thanks for the info. After looking at several posts and follow-ups in this forum and thinking about all day I came to the conclusion that if I was having that much difficulty deciding whether or not to buy the furniture, it probably wasn't the furniture for me. Took my husband and daughter shopping tonight and finally found another dining room set which I absolutely fell in love with. Bought it on the spot. I've only been looking for a little over a year (no joke). Oh, and not to seem totally stupid, but since I'm not real savvy when it comes to the language used in these posts, could you plese tell me what "MDF" is. If nothing else, I'm learning a lot in this forum.
