This fancy marigold, and five of his seedpack mates joined the cast of the garden yesterday, as I prepare beds for the impending planting out of our great looking tomato plants.Posted by PicasaHeading back to tour by the gardens around the house, I found the blue columbine opening nicely...Posted by PicasaThere's an old azalea at one end of the front garden. Last year I had to trim off lots of deadwood, and it's left looking almost standard-like, with some newer growth at the bottom. This year, at the very base of the bush, we are enjoying a single blossom. At least it's a great one!Posted by PicasaYes, and there's still more spiderwort in bloom. Someone wrote to me to tell me that they are known in Provincetown as Widows Tears (a sweeter name than what I knew it by)...and I've since found that it's called that in some plant catalogs, as well.

Republic of North Ossetia
The Vladikavkaz-Rostov-on-Don railway was built. Ossetian culture in the first half of the 19th century was noted for the establishment of missionary, military, and then civilian schools that later served as the basis for the development of education.
Ossetia became part of the Terskaya Region of Russia in the mid-19th century.
After the Revolution, on January 20, 1921, it became part of the Mountain (Gorskaya) Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR) as the Osetinsky and Digorsky national districts. In April 1922, the two national districts were united into Vladikavkazsky National District, which in turn was transformed into the North Ossetian Autonomous Region in July 1924 and then into the North Ossetian ASSR of the RSFSR in December 1936. On July 6, 1937, the VII Congress of Soviets of the North Ossetian ASSR adopted the Constitution of the Republic.
