File talk:Louis Raymond admiring a spike of flowers of his coppiced specimen of Bidwill's bean tree, Erythrina x bidwillii.jpg

This picture was taken of me, in my own garden, by a photographer and friend, Christopher Greenleaf, who lives nearby, in Westerly, Rhode Island. Because it's a portrait of both me and one of my plants as grown by me, another picture isn't usable. Would you like Christopher Greenleaf to be in touch to confirm that I have the right to use his picture? Thanks for your guidance.
