Week eleven

It does not look as if the inflorescence is going to straighten out after all. And it was quite hard to snap earlier, with the bright morning sun adjacent, so this snap was taken late afternoon, when the sun had gone down around the other side of the house.

At least the florets are opening up in the approved manner.

Chair quite possibly Ercol from the early 1960's. A good chair in its time, but the joins between the legs and the seat are starting to work a little loose. Not sure that I could do a neat enough job of taking to pieces and putting back together again to make such a proceeding worthwhile.

PS: interested to find that Ercol furniture is named for one Lucian Ercolani, who came here from Italy as a ten year old, back in 1898. Not sure what his conscription status was during the first world war, bearing in mind that Italy was on our side for that one.
