Hum,
yea i always did like those Fritillarias...
But i`ve only ever seen them in ppls gardens (version 3.9, i think), because they`re really rare in the wild.


Best just to stick to a photo of one, on the computer.

NO, this is not an "Amiga" flower.  I do not see any Amiga check (tick) marks.  The official (real) Amiga logo is the famous Check (tick) mark, NOT the "boing ball".   :ranting:

And that was commodores doing, the boingball was actually on a few of the early A1000's but was replaced... or so I've heard.

@Brian

I dunno, I thought early 1000s just had the check and no C=

I have never heard that. :-?

Anyway. I think I'd had my fill of boing balls in 1998 or so. I genuinely can't stand looking at them these days! :-(

Fun flowers, though.

Yeah I like the tick better than the boing ball also.

You know what, you are right!  Maybe I should change my Amiga Org member name to "TickBoss" or "Checkmark Boss".   :lol:
