Orto botanico dell'Università degli Studi di Padova:
The Cactus House in the Botanic Garden of Padua is a dedicated greenhouse showcasing a diverse collection of cacti and succulent plants, many of which are native to arid regions around the world. It was constructed in the 19th century as part of the garden's expansion and has since become a key feature for studying xerophytic plant life. The house maintains a controlled environment to support the unique needs of these plants, offering visitors an opportunity to explore the remarkable adaptations of desert flora.
The Botanic Garden of Padua, established in 1545, holds the distinction of being the oldest academic botanical garden in the world, and it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997 for its historical and scientific significance. It was founded by the University of Padua to provide students with a space for studying plants and medicine, reflecting the growing Renaissance interest in the natural sciences. The garden’s design is notable for its influence on the development of botanical gardens globally, combining academic research with practical applications in medicine and agriculture. The garden also serves as a symbol of the advancement of scientific knowledge during the Renaissance, particularly in the fields of botany and pharmacology.
The garden's main features include its structured layout, which is divided into distinct sections representing various plant species and their uses, from medicinal to ornamental. A central focus is the "oldest surviving plant bed," where medicinal plants have been cultivated for centuries. The garden also houses rare and endangered species, a historical collection of trees, and an impressive array of flowers and herbs. One of its most iconic structures is the Torre del Linneo (Linnaeus Tower), which honors the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus and his contribution to modern taxonomy. The Botanic Garden of Padua continues to be a vital center for scientific research, environmental conservation, and public education.
Dedicated to Sabine Kux. RIP.

The Zlatari Church was built in the 19th century on the site of an earlier church.
As with most Romanian Orthodox Churches, the Zlatari Church is best known for its interior frescoes that were created by artist Gheorghe Tatarescu.
They were painted from 1853-1856 and depict biblical scenes painted on large panels.
The impressive stained glass windows depicting various saints. Frescoes also decorate the door.
This Romanian Orthodox church located at 12 Calea Victoriei in the Lipscani district of Bucharest, Romania.
It is dedicated to the Nativity of Mary and also to Saints Cyprian and Justina .
The first church on the site was built in the mid-17th century, likely of wood, and is mentioned in a 1667 document.
Legend has it that the founders were zlătari, gold or silversmiths.
The 1709 pisanie was lost in 1850, but a likely apocryphal record of its Greek text was preserved.
According to this source, a new church was built in 1705, with Spătar Mihail Cantacuzino as ktetor.
He generously endowed the monastery with stores and estates, making it among the wealthiest in the country during the 18th century.
In 1709, when Patriarch of Alexandria Gerasimos Palladas visited the court of Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, the monastery, and its surrounding inn were subordinated to his church.
The church suffered severe damage during the 1802 and 1838 earthquakes, and was entirely rebuilt starting in 1850, as recorded by the 1860 pisanie, also in Greek; reportedly, Xavier Villacrosse was the architect.
The interior painting, dating to 1853–1856, was done by the painter Gheorghe Tattarescu, and features biblical scenes on large panels.
The iconostasis, carved in wood and gilt, as well as its silvered icons, are works of art.
The monastery chapel, mentioned by Dionisie Fotino in 1818 and used for prayer by Russian travelers, was demolished in 1850.
The building underwent repairs in 1864, 1876, and 1898, becoming a parish church in 1888.
In 1903, the inn and bell tower were demolished in order to widen the street Calea Victoriei.
A fresco depicting the Nativity of the Virgin and an inscription submitting to Alexandria were discovered at the time, but later lost.
The church was again restored in 1907–1908; its domes were damaged in the 1940 tremor.
These were repaired provisionally and given their current form in 1971–1973.
Until the late 1970s, the church stood alone between Lipscani and Stavropoleos Streets, with green space covering the inn's foundation.
At that point, one apartment block was built on either side.
The single-nave church measures 23.5 meters long by 12 meters wide, finishing in an altar apse. Aside from the central dome, there are four smaller ones atop the nave corners; these are octagonal, resting on square bases.
Light comes into the interior through stained glass windows depicting saints.
Two brass candelabra in Oriental style were donated by the father of a colonel who lived in the inn around 1830.
Red bricks decorate the exterior. The canopied portico features arches on stone columns.
The right arm of Saint Cyprian is held in a small reliquary before the altar.
Saints Cyprian and Justina are honored in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy as Christians of Antioch, who in 304, during the Diocletianic Persecution, suffered martyrdom at Nicomedia (modern-day İzmit, Turkey) on September 26
Cyprian, known by the title of "the Magician", to distinguish him from Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, received a liberal education in his youth, and particularly applied himself to astrology; after which he traveled for improvement through Greece, Egypt, India, etc.
Cyprian was a magician in Antioch and dealt in sorcery.
Justina is known for converting Cyprian,[and is said to have been a young woman who took private vows of chastity.
She was killed during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Diocletian in the year 304 AD.
A would-be suitor – a pagan lawyer – sought the aid of Cyprian's magic to induce Justina into marrying him.
Cyprian sent a demon to torment Justina, hoping to arouse carnal passions within her.
The charms and spells had no effect on Justina, who, in chastity and purity, spent her time in prayer and fasting.
Cyprian again employed sorcery, sending "the chief of the demons" to Justina, who likewise was conquered by a certain "Sign of Christ".
Brought to despair, Cyprian made the Sign himself and in this way was freed from the toils of Satan.
Cyprian summarily burned any books of spells and sorcery in his possession in front of a bishop of the Church, sealing his commitment to a new life as a Christian.
He was baptized and received into the Church and was made preeminent by miraculous gifts.
Cyprian then became, in succession, a deacon, priest, and finally, bishop after being named as the successor to Anthimus, bishop of Antioch, while Justina became abbess of a convent.
The martyrdom of Cyprian and Justina shown in the 11th century Menologion of Basil II.
During the Diocletian Persecution, both were seized and taken to Damascus, where they were tortured.
As their faith never wavered, they were brought before Diocletian at Nicomedia, where at his command they were beheaded on the bank of the Gallus River, a tributary of the Sangarius River.
The same fate befell a man named Theoctistus, who upon observing Cyprian's faith, declared himself a Christian.
After the bodies of the saints had lain unburied for six days, they were taken by Christian sailors to Rome, where they were interred on the estate of a noble lady named Rufina and later entombed in Constantine's basilica.

Church opened 27 Mar 1849 as Wesleyan, enlarged 1894, Methodist after Union 1900, porch opened 21 Mar 1937, became Uniting 1977. Oldest existing church south of Adelaide.
“the congregation of the newly erected Wesleyan Chapel, at the Cherry Gardens, assembled in public worship. The Rev. D. J. Draper preached, and afterwards presided at a social meeting. The Rev. Mr Curry also attended. About 120 sat down to tea, in celebration of what they devoutly considered an auspicious occasion. The chapel, which is a perfect model of neatness, is capable of accommodating about 150 persons; and the worthy and indefatigable Superintendent has the satisfaction of knowing that not one penny of debt encumbers the building.” [Register 28 Mar 1849]
“Cherry Gardens . . . The jubilee of the oldest Church south of Adelaide took place on Sunday and Monday. This Church was opened on March 27, 1849. . . Five years ago the accommodation was increased by adding 14 ft. to the front. At Monday night’s public meeting only two persons were present who were at the opening, viz., Mr. T. Broadbent, of Blackwood, and Mr. J. Lewis, of Cherry Gardens.” [Adelaide Observer 8 Apr 1899]
“Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jacobs, who came from the Isle of Wight, moved to Cherry Gardens in 1838, and they and other settlers were quick to discuss a place of worship. Their first meeting place was Mr. Henry Field's home, and soon after this some Bible Christians joined with the Methodists to build a church, which was opened in March, 1849.” [Chronicle 24 Mar 1949]
Dedicated to St Martin & St Mary. A church was first recorded on this site in 1180. The parish church was dedicated on 6 November 1259 by Walter Bronescombe, Bishop of Exeter. The first recorded vicar was in the year 1303.

I didn't dig. I was weeding because of my hip and I finally hurt too much. I went home to get some medicine and came back to catch the tail end of the landscaping. It was all completed, so I did a few cat photos and as I was driving out, here was Kathy walking a dog! Now Kathy had been slaving all day and here she is going even further. That is dedication!

This photo is dedicated to so many of my Flickr friends, and to their friends and to their friends!
This week, when confronted with hate by venomous jerks who sneaked a nasty photo onto Explore, we came together in an international coalition to decry this evil, and the photo was booted from Explore and the jerk who posted it was forced to recategorize it as "restricted."
Bless you, all my friends, you are wonderful people for standing up for what is right, for standing up against incivility and injustice.
Thank you so much for your kindness and your compassion!
