For today's #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday, a window in the seed house of John Bartram, the pioneering American botanist (1699-1777) whom Linnaeus called "the greatest natural botanist in the world." The building (in what is now part of Philadelphia) was constructed out of a local stone called Wissahickon schist. Below the window are some of the artistic botanic ornaments that Bartram carved into the stone.
