Wile E. Roadrunner
What, you ask, is the Greater Roadrunner, the State Bird of New Mexico, doing sitting on a fence?

‘Cinnamon Delight,’ A Russet Rose
‘Cinnamon Delight’ is a miniature rose, and its official ARS color classification is russet. Russet roses are not all that common. They are generally achieved by some mix of mauve roses with yellow roses.
Probably because of the mauve component, russet roses seem to like some degree of protection from the hot afternoon sun. [...]
