These are known as birds best fungi. They are in my door mat.

Very interesting to those of us not familiar with the many wonders of Australia,

And well captured, as usual.

Brodie notes that this species usually grows in moist and shaded locations, although its discovery in the arid regions of Lima, Peru, suggest that it is tolerant of low-moisture conditions. It is the most abundant species of Cyathus found in Europe, and is also common in North America. Its range extends north to Sweden and far south in South America; it has also been reported in Australia, South Africa, Iran and India.

One of Ron's roses, taken yesterday...

   

It seems that the owners needed to find new tenants for the house, and they've done a little bit to tend to the roses; many have been lost, but some of the survivors are looking better.
