So much beauty

The Glass Flowers are still in the same wooden cases I saw them in nearly 50 years ago!

Delicacy

The delicacy of the flowers makes it hard to believe they are made of glass!

Relax. This scorpion lives in Africa. She is a large scorpion, slow-moving, and not very harmful at all. My friend Janice, in the Peace Corps there, tells me the smaller they are, the more deadly they are. { ! }

Today we are headed to the Stone Zoo in Massachusetts for fun with all three Granddaughters!!! :-)

Glass Cacti

These Cacti are made entirely of glass! They are part of a 4300 piece collection of glass flowers created by father and son Blaschka, some parts hand blown and some heated and shaped. They were created between 1889 and 1936 with very basic tools. I will say more about them as I post more of them in coming days. On exhibit at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, I recall seeing (and being enchanted with) these flowers as a child.

How delightful to find and see them again recently!
