Live photos from my upcoming garden tour?

[Kaela]

Hi everyone!

I'm finally planning my little horticultural trip for next spring. I'm going to visit several nurseries and show gardens abroad, and I'd really like to be able to share photos with you here, and even ask you to help me identify plants on the spot. The only problem is that my cell phone provider quickly reaches its limit as soon as I leave the country. I'm looking into getting an eSIM so I have enough data for the forum and my research. I've seen that there are quite a few discount codes available for services. Do any of you use this system when you go to visit gardens far from home? Is it stable enough to send large photos?

Hello and welcome to the forum, i don't know about a eSim and i don't visit any gardens.

Welcome @Kaela I hope you can work out the technical issues so we can share with you.

I have visited several gardens across the USA over the years. One thing that seems "always" is they have a little tag next to the plant with the name of the plant on the tag. If I like that plant, I take a picture of the tag to later look it up and see if its feasible for me to use in my garden. So no need for any ID issues.

Come to think of it When I visited the Royal Garden in Edinburg, Scotland, they had tags next to all the plants, trees and shrubs.
Also, I was able to purchase a card for my cell phone from a nearby cell phone tech place in Edinburg, for Ten dollars USA, it was good for the entire area of Scotland, for about 2 weeks he said. If memory serves the store was on the main drag going into center area. It was easy to install, actually they guy helped me. I took with me a very small bottle of which I put my USA sim card into it for safe keeping, on the plane home I switched out the Scotland sim card for the USA sim card and all worked fine.

Kaela, you can also shrink" the JPGs before you post them...the times I have attached images it only accept 800 pixels anyway, so you will have to shrink them at some point.
