A Nasturtium … by the color red.I like to cultivate these flowers in my terrace. They are very generous flowers and abundant blooms.  Even their round leaf is very beautiful.   “Tropaeolum majus” (garden nasturtium) is a flowering plant in the family Tropaeolaceae, originating in the Andes from Bolivia north to Colombia. It is widely cultivated, both as an ornamental plant and as a medicinal plant. All its parts are edible. The flower has most often been consumed, making for an especially ornamental salad ingredient  .   .   .  Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

Cats

Traditionally, historians tended to think ancient Egypt was the site of cat domestication, owing to the clear depictions of house cats in Egyptian paintings about 3,600 years old. However, in 2004, a Neolithic grave excavated in Shillourokambos, Cyprus, contained the skeletons, laid close to one another, of both a human and a cat. The grave is estimated to be 9,500 years old, pushing back the earliest known feline–human association significantly.source texthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#History_and_mythology
