LOL, Victor! The photo is a sepia photo taken by an itinerant photographer named Howe. It is right on the wall behind me and I love looking at it. You can barely see the mountain laurel, but it's there in the same spot as this one is today.

Here's the other 19th century bloom - the heritage rose out by our mailbox. It has lost about 50% of its plant size this year, so I'm a bit worried about losing it. The blooms last a very brief time, so I got his one yesterday just after it opened.
