I have no idea why this picture is posting itself 4 times! Does anyone else see

it plastered right there on the board, without even clicking on anything? Yikes!! It shows up here, twice, right on the board, among the words :eek:(

 
it was the url that you used improperly formatted - I fixed it

 
Thanks Paul! For future reference, which link should we use at Photobucket.com? They

all seemed to be incorrect. Sure does look different over there since last time I was there!

Direct, Image (which I did first), etc. Thanks.

 
here are the instructions and I think a simple rule to follow would be:

the url should start with "http" and end with an image file extension. These days that is almost exclusively .jpg or .png.
for example your image would be:
"http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g166/Finer_Kitchens/DawnNYS/wildp.png"

On the instructions page it says "URL" but I think that has been deprecated and you can use the one that says "Direct" Photobucket adds a ~original to the end of the file name and that seems to work anyway e.g.: wildp.png~original

So from photobucket "Direct" would actually give you:

It doesn't have those long needle like greens like dill has. Dill is more feathery, it looks like

this plant has a definite leaf.

 
here in Sonoma County there is wild anise all over

my understanding is that it was brought over by the first Italian immigrants. It looks similar to the photo DawnNYS posted. I've heard it referred to as wild dill many times. But if you smell it, it smells like licorice/fennel.
The poison hemlock also grows wild and has killed some horses and other animals and is suspected to have gotten into some of the local hay. Similar type of plant but white flowers. I saw one plant identified on the Internet as wild dill but looked very much like the poison hemlock that grows around here. I don't think the hemlock is even OK to touch but it smells very different. Not pleasant.
