Fairchild Garden is a repository for endangered plants from Madagascar. Without the garden's help, these extraordinary beauties would disappear from the Earth.
To meet the needs of these strange spiny visitors, Fairchild gardeners have modified the soil and mounded up tons of small stones to enhance drainage here in the tropics where we get many times more rain than in their native land.
Euphorbia viguieri grows in a single column form covered with medium-sized thorns that are thick at the base and get finer toward the end. They are white and sometimes serrated, making this one of the most dangerous-looking Euphorbias. The column is broader toward the top and may spiral slightly as it grows. The body is five to six sided and may have leaf scars from previous seasons' foliage. It can grow nearly 3 feet tall.
The tubular flowers are spectacular sunset colors in hues of orange, yellow and scarlet. Blooms are produced after a rainy period and are small flowers, measuring less than 1 inch. The flowers do not last long but do attract several pollinating insects with their sweet nectar. Euphorbia viguieri doesn't produce branches, so the flowers spring right from the body of the plant. The flowers open when the heat of the day is over or first thing in the morning and then close when the sun is at its peak.
Euphorbia viguieri goes dormant in the winter and loses its leaves. It will produce a new set in late spring and flower in summer. Many Euphorbia species only have spines and no leaves, but E. viguieri produces both. The leaves are lightly veined and simple, oval in shape and a lighter green than the body. The leaves can grow from 1 to 7 inches long. Extreme drought will also cause the plant to lose its leaves as a protective measure to prevent moisture loss.
Euphorbia viguieri thrives in nutrient-poor areas and is one of the few Euphorbia that may be found in mountainous regions where it tolerates excesses of water. It is also found in scrubland and open woodlands in western to southern Madagascar. The plant does best in an unglazed clay container as a house plant or can be part of a xeriscape garden.

Cotehele is a medieval house near Calstock in Cornwall. Now owned by the National Trust, the early 14th century house was substantially extended by Sir Richard Edgcumbe from 1485-89 and his son, Sir Piers Edgcumbe, from 1489-1520. This house is one of the least altered of the Tudor houses in the United Kingdom. Unoccupied for the past two centuries, it has served as a repository for unwanted tapestries and furniture. The front of the house, seen here, is the oldest part of the building.

Knoxville is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Knox County. The city had an estimated population of 186,239 in 2016 and a population of 178,874 as of the 2010 census, making it the state's third largest city after Nashville and Memphis. Knoxville is the principal city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area, which, in 2016, was 868,546, up 0.9 percent, or 7,377 people, from to 2015. The KMSA is, in turn, the central component of the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area, which, in 2013, had a population of 1,096,961.
First settled in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. The city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century. The arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom. During the Civil War, the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue, and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies.Following the war, Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center. The city's economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed, the downtown area declined and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights. Hosting the 1982 World's Fair helped reinvigorate the city, and revitalization initiatives by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city, especially the downtown area.
Knoxville is the home of the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee, whose sports teams, called the "Volunteers" or "Vols", are extremely popular in the surrounding area. Knoxville is also home to the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for East Tennessee and the corporate headquarters of several national and regional companies. As one of the largest cities in the Appalachian region, Knoxville has positioned itself in recent years as a repository of Appalachian culture and is one of the gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The Illinois State Archives Building is the official repository of state documents of permanent value. It is the third oldest archives building in the United States. At the time it was built between 1936 and 1938, there were only two other buildings in the country that had been built specifically to be archives. The first to be completed was the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the second was Maryland Hall of Records in Annapolis. Both of these buildings were completed in 1935, but were not comparable in size to what the Illinois situation demanded, and both were built before the respective archivists had been appointed or archival establishments organized. Although strongly influenced by both these buildings, the Illinois State Archives Building represented a new study of archival needs by both the architect and the archivist. Invaluable assistance was given by the architects of the Washington and Annapolis buildings, by other archivists and especially by the various equipment companies.
Action to erect a dedicated archives building was prompted the destruction of the Illinois State Arsenal in 1934, and with it the burning of all the soldiers' bonus and World War I records of the Military and Naval Department. The following year, a bill was passed by the General Assembly appropriating a half million dollars for the erection of a State Archives Building. To this sum the Public Works Administration of the federal government added approximately $320,000.
The limestone-faced building was designed to protect the state's records of enduring value from the hazards of fire, humidity, heat, vermin, theft and exposure. The site selected was the southwest corner of the state capitol grounds, a plot permitting a planned expansion to four times the present capacity of the building. The present unit faces north towards the state capitol. It is 152 feet long, 67 feet deep, and about 100 feet high, exclusive of a one-story penthouse. Architecturally it harmonizes with other buildings in the capitol group, and especially with the adjacent Centennial Building (now the Michael J, Howlett Building), which provides offices for the Illinois Secretary of State. The exterior decorative motifs for the two buildings are the same.
Since 1995, the structure has been known as the Margaret Cross Norton Building. Norton was superintendent of the State Archives from 1922 to 1957, was instrumental in planning the design and construction of the Illinois State Archives building.
The Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library (Dutch: Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience) is the repository library of the city of Antwerp. It is named after the Flemish writer Hendrik Conscience, whose statue adorns the library. The library conserves books and magazines to keep them available permanently.
The history of the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library, which was called the City Library until 2008, goes back to 1481. The collection contains more than one million books. The primary collection areas are Dutch literature, history of the Netherlands, early printed books (pre-1830), Flemish folk culture, art in the Netherlands, and works about Antwerp ("Antverpiensia").
The Nottebohmzaal was designed as a space for exhibitions, lectures and as a storage space for museum objects. The hall was after Oscar Nottebohm, a businessman of German origin who was an important social and cultural patron for Antwerp. In his will, he donated a large amount of money to the City Library.
The Nottebohmzaal a preserves some of the foremost items from the library's collection, such as an Egyptian cabinet, celestial and terrestrial globes by William and Joan Blaeu, and several busts of European authors.

A delicate tracery of dust and bright star clusters threads across this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. The bright tendrils of gas and stars belong to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, whose bright central bar is visible in the upper left of this image. NGC 5068 lies around 17 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
This portrait of NGC 5068 is part of a campaign to create an astronomical treasure trove, a repository of observations of star formation in nearby galaxies. Previous gems from this collection can be seen here and here. These observations are particularly valuable to astronomers for two reasons. The first is because star formation underpins so many fields in astronomy, from the physics of the tenuous plasma that lies between stars to the evolution of entire galaxies. By observing the formation of stars in nearby galaxies, astronomers hope to kick-start major scientific advances with some of the first available data from Webb.
The second reason is that Webb’s observations build on other studies using telescopes including the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and some of the world’s most capable ground-based observatories. Webb collected images of 19 nearby star-forming galaxies which astronomers could then combine with catalogues from Hubble of 10 000 star clusters, spectroscopic mapping of 20 000 star-forming emission nebulae from the Very Large Telescope (VLT), and observations of 12 000 dark, dense molecular clouds identified by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). These observations span the electromagnetic spectrum and give astronomers an unprecedented opportunity to piece together the minutiae of star formation.
With its ability to peer through the gas and dust enshrouding newborn stars, Webb is the perfect telescope to explore the processes governing star formation. Stars and planetary systems are born amongst swirling clouds of gas and dust that are opaque to observations in visible light, like many from Hubble or the VLT. The keen vision at infrared wavelengths of two of Webb’s instruments — MIRI and NIRCam — allowed astronomers to see right through the gargantuan clouds of dust in NGC 5068 and capture the processes of star formation as they happened. This image combines the capabilities of these two instruments, providing a truly unique look at the composition of NGC 5068.

Image description: Webb’s composite image of barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, showing its core and part of a spiral arm. Clumps and filaments of dust, represented in a mossy green color, form an almost skeletal structure that follow the twist of the galaxy and its spiral arm. Thousands upon thousands of packed, tiny stars that make it up can be seen, most dense in a whitish bar in the top left quadrant, which is the region that forms its core. Large, glowing bubbles of gas, represented in red, are hidden in the dust. The background is a dark forest green.
