Nowrūz (Persian language: نوروز [noʊruːz]), meaning 'New Day') is the traditional ancient Iranian festival and also the start day of Iranian "New Year".
Nowruz is celebrated and observed by Iranian peoples and the related cultural continent and has spread in many other parts of the world, including parts of Central Asia, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Crimea and some ethnic groups in Albania, Bosnia, Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia.
Nowruz marks the first day of Spring and the beginning of the year in Iranian calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox, which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. As well as being a Zoroastrian holiday and having significance amongst the Zoroastrian ancestors of modern Iranians, the same time is celebrated in the Indian sub-continent as the new year. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year and Iranian families gather together to observe the rituals.
The term Nowruz in writing, first appeared in Persian records in the second century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 648-330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the emperor also called King of Kings (Shahanshah) of Persia on Nowruz.
The UN's General Assembly in 2010 recognized the International Day of Nowruz, describing it a spring festival of Persian origin which has been celebrated for over 3,000 years.In 2009 Nowrūz was officially registered on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Since 2010, the United Nations General Assembly recognizes March 21 as the "International Day of Nowruz".

The Persian cat is a breed of long-haired cats, one of the oldest and most popular in the world..Now there are about 100 varieties of these cats in color. In the Soviet Union, the first Persian cats appeared only in the late 80s of the last century. They were brought from Europe by diplomats and were very rare..Persian cats can not live outside the house. This is one of the most difficult breeds to care for..Cute animal from the series Seliger cats, a chance meeting on the street of the city of Ostashkov.

Veronica persica (Persian speedwell, ‘Oo-inu-no-fuguri’ in Japanese) produces lovely Persian blue flowers in the spring fields.
Veronica persica is a winter-annual flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae, native to Eurasia.
I'm working on a series of plants we have in our garden. These do not flower but are the most beautiful ornamental leaves I think I've ever seen. These are called Persian Shield.

I am not good with flower names so I googled this and it came up as Persian Buttercup which I thought was a nice name
It's hard to believe this Persian Coneflower is a real! I tried to tone the color down to keep it from looking like a cartoon... it still does so... enjoy! :)) Huntsville Botanical Garden, Alabama.

Is this being a Persian rug?
NO!
“…It is a genuine, 100% Fucari rug…”
I spotted this rug in High street Shepparton, while looking at rugs. It made me blush at my own thoughts, as sometimes, l have a wicked sense of humour. So wicked, most of my wicked thoughts and jokes don’t get past the thought stage, let alone the lips part.
A few years ago, l used to follow several AFL, Australia Football League pages on face book.
While surfing the net, l used to say, “go Collingwood”, on the Hawthorn Facebook page, or “go Richmond” on the Collingwood page. (Please note it has been a few years, so l may have the teams wrong). I used to think it was hilarious, because l was confident, that somewhere there would be a diehard supporter with steam coming from their ears, as l trolled their pages. l used to alternate as far as l can remember. If l said go Hawthorn, on the Collingwood page, l would try and say go Collingwood on the Hawthorn page. I am confident that no one would have noticed that. l was trying to manage my karma, with a zero-sum game. My face book updates from their pages soon ended, probably due to safety concerns. But l still gets a grin out of it.
It is a Turkish rug.
: )
So, in following that vain, l decided to give rug makers a rib, and deliberately miss identify, the rug in the picture. Hopefully my Flickr account will survive this one. And l am sure if l go to a genuine rug maker, wanting a beautiful rug, l might get the, “…no soup for you, come back in one year…” reply.

A sleek long-haired Persian cat is depicted in a minimalist, neon-inspired art style, reclining in profile against a deep black background. The feline's silhouette is outlined by a multicolor electric glow tracing the entire body, and highlighting individual stands emphasizing its elegant curves and long, flowing whiskers. Fine strands of luminescent fur extend from its form, most prominent along the tail and chest, creating a sense of ethereal energy.
