Mo,
These are quite interesting pollen shots -- better done than a lot that I have seen posted elsewhere. They would fit nicely over in the microscopy gallery.
However, the 8 images in your posting here are way over the limit of 3 images per day per forum. That's a line I have to hold, as admin/editor: max 3 images per day per forum, no more.
The best way to present this kind of material (numerous small photos) is to pack them into multi-paneled images like the example in the General Posting Guidelines.
Packing images is pretty easy with most image-manipulation software, although it may require learning a couple of new tricks.
With your permission, and on a one-time basis for educational purposes, I can pack these images to help you get the idea. Otherwise one or the other of us will have to edit your post to cut the number of embedded images ([img] tags) down to three.
Thanks for the post, and sorry for the inconvenient nagging...

Mo,
Here is a quick-and-dirty approach to putting together multi-panel images.
What I did was first to pull all the little images into Photoshop and arrange them on screen the way I wanted them. Then I just did a screengrab, using the Windows Print Screen key. I created a new blank image, pasted the screengrab into it, cropped to size, added a black border, and hey presto, a multi-panel image.
There are other more elegant ways of doing this, using layers and whatnot in your favorite photo editing tool. But the screengrab technique is quick, easy, and fairly foolproof -- well suited for novices, I think.
Chickory, speedwell, hibiscus, and unidentified. (Counterclockwise from upper left).
Guava.
Unidentified.
I will edit your earlier post so that it fits within the guidelines, while (hopefully) keeping it so that this discussion makes sense to other readers. Again, the point is to stay within the posting guidelines --- max 3 images per day per forum, 800x800 pixels or smaller --- while still presenting as much info as possible.
I hope this is helpful.
By the way, do you know what the pollen is stained with?
