[OT from cottage renovations]

while returning from this morning's weekly Post Office trip I learned that this cactus had come into bloom.  like the platycerium hanging in the bathroom/conservatory it is from a plant that has been in its owner's family for decades.  the morning light proved to be inadequate for portraiture so I went back in the afternoon when conditions were more favourable.

[OT from cottage renovations]

down on Chestnut Avenue this English rose is blooming with a wild abandon.  afternoon sweetlight seems to bring out the best in its flowers so I made a point of being there to try to take advantage of the felicitous combination.

Bittersweet Cottage Garden

back at home the same light came streaming through Mrs Carter Emmons' rose bush (previously noted in entry for 13 June 2005).  I believe it to be same variety.
