I am learning plants also, so I would love to see your photos. Alas, the forum royally sucks for posting images.

Here is a solution:

Use a photo hosting site that allows you to copy the BBCode of the image. imgur is a good site for this. Just ignore all the extraneous social media crap that goes with it. Copy and paste that BBCode in the body of your forum message. The image will appear in-line without requiring the reader to click on a link. Good luck.
