Veltheimia photos on PBS wiki

Please note that the photos of various color forms of Veltheimia bracteata on
the PBS wiki Veltheimia page have been re-linked. There seemed to be a
problem with the links for some people, so the images have been renamed
slightly and re-linked. Please take a look at:

...for some of Doug's photos of lovely color forms of Veltheimia bracteata.

For those of you who might want to post pictures, may I offer these file
naming recommendations:
1. Make the file name contiguous... e.g. no blank spaces and use dashes
instead of underscore to separate name terminologies. The underscore symbol
works in most cases, but given the evidence from Doug's posting, sometimes it
doesn't work. Only use standard alphanumeric characters.

2. Don't use superfluous punctuation in the file name. It works best if
filenames are contiguous and avoid non-alphanumeric syntax. Example, don't
use periods, other than for the separation between the filename and the
3-character file extension... such as
My-great-plant.jpg. Using non-standard characters in file names such as
apostrophes, percentage symbol, question marks, etc., only invite all sorts
of problems based on the overly liberal file naming used.

3. Keep the names fairly short, and self-evident, avoiding "non-standard"
characters.

Keep on posting... I'm seeing some great pictures there on PBS wiki!
