Outside back cover of _Mayflower_ magazine, September 1892, Floral Park, New York, USA. I wasn't able to fully restore this one because the damage was so extensive. Maybe if I could figure out how to soak the leaf in water for a while and press it flat? Perhaps I'll try my hand at physical restoration.

Unrestored version of the cover, with many rips, voids, stains, and fly spots.Partially restored version. A chromolith, with a light brown background, on which is a tazetta Narcissus ("1 - Double Sacred Lily"), and three insets, meant to look like pieces of birch bark pinned onto the background, which contain a Chionodoxa ("2 - Glory of the Snow"), an anemone ("3 - Anemone Rosette"), a pink hyacinth ("4 - Double Roman Hyacinth"), and a jonquilla Narcissus ("5 - Giant Sweet Jonquil"). Text promises "Mayflower Premium - 10 superb flowering bulbs given to each subscriber. The 5 here shown and 5 other different sorts. (See last inside page)".

#EasterSunday sitting in a sunny garden with the birds singing away and watching a hefty #BumbleBee queen bending the #chionodoxa flowers down under her weight.

I'm reminded of this paper that describes the physics of #Bees in flight. (TL;DR they move their wings at about 230Hz in broadly horizontal figures of 8 rather than flapping up and down)

Fascinating application of #Aerodynamic theory.

#Nature and #Science are both amazing.

Crocus Ard Schenk with #chionodoxa, aka glory of the snow. I love how fresh and hopeful this pairing is.
