And, I came across this beauty that I took a photograph of quite a few years ago. This is a plate from the book The American Flora Vol. II. that we have in our Special Collections here at the MMA. When we moved all of the books to another site so that we could conserve and update our Science Library into the Research Center, several Mitchell House interns (over several years since we have one a summer) and I cleaned all the books in a long and laborious process.
They really do not make them like they used to. Passion flowers, roses, an orchid, maybe a columbine and perhaps some fuscia – its lovely! I, of course, did not note the date but I believe this is a later edition.

May I have some Scottish folk song recommendations, please?
"Bonnie Dundee" by Michael Mitchell
"William Wallace" by Alastair MacDonald
"The Massacre of Glencoe" by Alistair MacDonald(this one is dear to my heart because my ancestors were survivors of the massacre)
"Home by Bearna" by Stamp'n Go Shanty
"Young Monroe" by the Cottars
"The Skye Boat Song" (both versions are wonderful - one set of lyrics is about Flora MacDonald rescuing Bonnie Prince Charlie, and the other is Robert Louis Stevenson lamenting the loss of the joy and hopes of his youth - neither is the "real" version as the tune precedes either, and the lyrics were written within a year of each other.)
