Barcelona hosts a huge heritage of Modernist (Art Deco) architecture: dozens of buildings, some of them very well-known all over the world, like Sagrada Familia Temple, La Pedrera or Casa Batlló. But there are some other buildings, not very much visited, which are authentic jewels of Modernism Heritage. Especially the case of the Hospital de Sant Pau i la Santa Creu (Hospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul): huge, impressive, and a great example of XIX century public buildings architecture. After more than a century as the home of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, an ambitious restoration project following the transfer of all healthcare activities to the new Hospital has restored the cultural and artistic glories of the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site, the most important work of Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner - Hospital de Sant Pau i la Santa Creu, Barcelona, Spain

Aristolochia is a large plant genus with over 500 species. Its members are commonly known as birthwort, pipevine or Dutchman's pipe and are widespread and occur in the most diverse climates. The flowers of this Giant Aristolochia are up to one foot in diameter. The flower is filmy and unusual. It is the host plant of the large and beautiful Polydamas Swallowtail butterfly.
Swallowtail caterpillars have a defense mechanism called osmeterium. Osmeterium is a fleshy organ where caterpillars store essential oils from their host plants, also known as terpenes. These oils coat the normally hidden osmeterium which can be everted or pushed out when the caterpillar is threatened.
The osmetierium are usually a bright warning color like red, yellow or orange and, because of the terpenes, they smell quite foul. Having to move swallowtail caterpillars to new host plants also means butterfly growers get their share of terpenes as the caterpillars arch backwards wildly, smearing predators faces and keepers hands alike with these gross smelling oils. Each species has its own unique odor based on what plants the caterpillar has been eating.

Ormbunksväxter (Pteridophyta) är en division växter som har både inre stöd och kärlsträngar. Genom den ökade stabiliteten och möjligheten till vattentransport, kan dessa växter bli stora. Kärlsträngarna är också en förutsättning för utveckling av äkta blad. Från karbontiden (350 miljoner år fn) och under 100 miljoner år dominerade de växtlivet på land. Fortplantningen kräver närvaro av vatten.
Fortplantningen sker med hjälp av vatten. På bladens undersida finns sporgömmen, där reduktionsdelning sker. Haploida sporer bildas vilka kan spridas vid torrt väder.
Carratraca es un municipio de la provincia de Málaga, en España, situado entre las estribaciones más nororientales de la Serranía de Ronda (sierras de Alcaparaín, Baños y Aguas).
Es al mismo tiempo una de las puertas septentrionales del Valle del Guadalhorce y territorio fronterizo entre estas dos comarcas y la de Antequera, con la que conecta por Ardales. Su paisaje es de laderas muy abruptas en la sierra de Alcaparín y algo más suave en las sierras de Baños y Aguas, cubiertas de pinares y monte bajo y algún que otro olivar allí donde el relieve lo permite. En el fondo del valle que recorre el término municipal de norte a sur, y por el que discurre el arroyo de las Cañas, el campo es de huertas en los márgenes de los arroyos y de cultivos de cereal y olivar entre éstas y el comienzo de las sierras. En el casco urbano de Carratraca destaca poderosamente el conjunto arquitectónico formado por la casa de Doña Trinidad Grund, convertida en Ayuntamiento, y la torre próxima a dicha casa. Desde las terrazas de este conjunto se obtienen bellas panorámicas del entorno.

A host of golden daffodils ;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
