The Internet Archive just released tens of thousands of seed catalogs, spanning over two centuries!

They are both lovely and interesting. Check them out!

Another older watercolour drawing showing St Edward's Passage in Cambridge next to the Arts Theatre and David's Bookshop when it had a shop on that side of the church (now it only has one on the other side)

This is a great favourite of mine, "Smithfield Spires" by Harold Steggles from 1931 His view must have been taken Holborn Viaduct & I particularly like the way that he's incorporated his signature in to the signage on the building! #HaroldSteggles #EastLondonGroup

Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum) might look like the cooking spice (Illicium verum), but don't be fooled! Anisatum seed pods are highly toxic. However, its leaves can be burned as incense.

I totally agree. So many make it difficult to find out where they are, and forget the Web is international.
Dear eateries: your location, contact details, and opening hours should be on your landing page.
