Hope you are feeling better today! Have another cup of coffee and rest!

An 1896 illustration of Coffea stenophylla in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, which noted the species’ “superior flavor” and market potential.

Kew Gardens

The Palm House at Kew, built in the 1840s to house tropical plants, was a repository for exotic samples from all over the world during the height of the British Empire.

Thanks, Pete. Kew Gardens is on my Bucket List.

Also hoping to visit The Biltmore after repairs from that freak hurricane are made - they really got hit hard. :(
