I have no doubt it is a young woman and not an ancester of Bonnie Parker. I have a hard time seeing the bracelets or any small detail in this picture because of the angle you have taken the picture. If I&#039;m really interested in one of your pic, I have to download it and try to change its perspective by rotating it so that it will be straight on. I do enjoy your wonderful pictures, but my old eyes and turning my creaky neck give me trouble seeing the details.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the lady with plant, Victorians went gaga over botanical gardens, conservatories/glass enclosed gardens, and the bigger the better. The common Joes and Josephines unable to have the glass enclosures went all out on stuffing their homes with plants.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the conservatory at the Biltmore estate in Ashville, NC, one of the many Vanderbilt family&#039;s estates. Biltmore was built c1890 by George W. Vanderbilt II. He was an uncle of Consuelo Vanderbilt who married &quot;Sunny&quot; the 9th Duke of Marlborough, a 1st cousin of Winston Churchill.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://fennerphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Biltmore_2013_A_026.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>More pics of the Biltmore estate, gardens, etc...</p><p><a href="http://fennerphotography.com/biltmore-house/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fennerphotography.com/biltmore-house/" rel="nofollow">http://fennerphotography.com/biltmore-house/</a></p><p><a href="http://fennerphotography.com/biltmore-estate-north-carolina-road-trip/#more-3889" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fennerphotography.com/biltmore-estate-north-carolina-road-trip/#more-3889" rel="nofollow">http://fennerphotography.com/biltmore-estate-north-carolina-road-trip/#more-3889</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
