The sunflower image overlaps the text in Opera browser. Part of the para on the right of the flower cannot be read. This displays fine in IE. Jay 13:54, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Is it any better now? Angela 14:12, Oct 18, 2003 (UTC)
Yes image and text are separated now. Thanx :) The text still touches the image in Opera, where as there is a tiny gap in IE. But they are browser incompatibilites I guess. Another good reason to always have the image on the right side of the page. Jay 14:24, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Wow, that is bad (Opera). There are lots of images on the left in Wikipedia. Could it have been something else about the layout (not just the fact was placed on left) but maybe the formatting used to place on left? - Marshman 17:14, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)
It was ok on the left. Someone else has changed it since it was fixed. Angela 17:22, Oct 18, 2003 (UTC)
I think the image placement follows the general standards of wikipedia image placement, so nothing wrong with that. I checked out with some other pages also, and the problem still exists with Opera. e.g., Arundhati Roy (this uses DIV tag). The images and text separation is fine in Opera for some left sided images, e.g., in Mohandas Gandhi and Shah Jahan. Thats because it uses TABLE tag. So DIV is the culprit.

Are you sure divs are the problem. When this was in a div and on the left it worked in Opera. Angela 20:21, Oct 18, 2003 (UTC)
Just to clarify, we're talking abt the problem of text touching image and not image overlapping text. The latter problem was solved by Angela's edit. I checked out the left-side image suggestions from Wikipedia:Image markup. If the markup is followed exactly, the image and text come out beautifully in Opera as well. What's missing here in the DIV tag is a "margin:0 1em 1em 0;" whatever that means. Include that and it works fine. Jay 20:46, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I can see that, I am using Opera too. Maybe right-align will be better? --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 01:44, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I moved the image to the right, as there are lot of images posed on the right too, see History_of_the_PRC_(1976-present). Jay's right, adding "margin:0 1em 1em 0;" can solve the problem, it works ok in Opera then. --FallingInLoveWithPitoc 01:54, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I cannot tell from above what works and what does not on Opera. But if the problem is (was) only the text touching the image then the margin statement should fix that. For information, "margin:0 1em 1em 0" means the following: "Add the following spaces around the image: top none, right 1, bottom 1, and left none" (note clockwide from top) and would be appropriate for a left aligned (left side) image. - Marshman 00:48, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Could somebody write about flower in daily life or in romantic love?
Which kind of flower should I bring to sick people, to love one, or for funeral, etc.Roscoe x 18:52, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
An interesting question, Roscoe X. There are many flowers that have special symbolism, so that would be a worthwhile subject to cover in an article. As for "doing the right thing" in the situations you describe, I hold that when uncertain, juist bring what pleases you. Few people really hold to the symbolisms anyway, so it is doubtful you could make a social blunder by bringing the wrong kind of floral arrangement. - Marshman 17:27, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I've started a new category on flowers as symbols in the hope that someone will expand on it. honeydew 13:47, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Mistletoe is not a flower - Marshman 18:10, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That's true; didn't think of that. I've taken it out. Anyone know of any more examples to add? - honeydew 01:46, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There are flowers that are symbolic of countries or regimes - Marshman 02:41, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
