| | Cunard Introduces Self Guided Art Tour on the Queen Victoria | | 2007-10-26 14:28:15 | | The real Queen Victoria was a virtual collection of firsts.

In recognition of her greatness, Cunard engaged a select group of accomplished contemporary British artists to bring style and ambiance to its newest ocean liner, Queen Victoria. The interior collection, from the Grand Lobby to all the restaurants and famous-named rooms, pieces are acknowledged on an 80 minute self-guided digital audio overview, the Queen Victoria Art Tour, which also features video interviews by the artists. | | By: Your Cruise Your Way Cruise Blog - Best of Cruise | | |

| | | Queen Victoria Century Plant (Agave victoriae-reginae 'Compacta') | | 2007-08-05 18:51:00 | | Queen Victoria Century PlantAgave victoriae-reginae 'Compacta'(a-GAH-vee) (vik-TOR-ee-ay ree-JIN-ay-ee)Agavaceae (ah-gav-AY-see-ay)What an emotional draining day yesterday was. I still feel bad about the whole thing. I can’t wait to get back into the garden on Monday. There at least I know what to expect and do. I guess that is my little comfort zone.I saw this cute little Agave growing in a pot at Wave Hill. It only gets to 12 inches and is hardy to USDA Zone 7b. There used to be one in the conservatory at work but the person that takes care of the greenhouse watered it to death over the winter. I love the contrast of the green leaves and white stripes. This plant only flowers after many years and then dies.Here are a couple more shots from the Foreigner Concert on their 2007 Concert tour.Mick Jones. Like the Dire Straits song says “Oh yeah, the boy can play.” Shot with my cheesy $12 Star Filter.End shot.
