Avon Productions
Avon Productions was an American film production company formed by producers Lawrence Weingarten and Pandro Berman. Both men worked at MGM as in house producers. They resigned from MGM in early 1957 to establish Avon Productions, which drew on finance from MGM and would distribute through that studio.  Both Berman and Weingarten would work on Avon productions but only one would take credit as producer. Weingarten said "after all these years we felt that it was time we shared in the profits of the pictures we made."

The company made some hugely popular films including Jailhouse Rock, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and BUtterfield 8. This company wound up in August 1961. Some films announced for the company would be done by other companies (Sweet Bird of Youth) or made as TV series (The Travels of Jamie McPheeters). Some were never made (e.g. Strike Heaven in the Face, Recollection Creek, No Blade of Grass.)

Lawrence Weingarten
Lawrence Weingarten (December 30, 1897 – February 5, 1975) was an American film producer. He was best known for working for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and producing some of the studio's most prestigious films such as Adam's Rib (1949), I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955) and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958).

During his career, Weingarten was nominated for an Academy Award in 1959 and was given the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1974, which was presented by Katharine Hepburn in her first and only appearance at the Oscars ceremony to present the award to her long time friend Weingarten. Whenever she won an Oscar, she always had either the presenter or another person associated with her film accept it on her behalf. Upon taking the stage, she received a standing ovation, to which she replied, "I'm living proof that a person can wait forty-one years to be unselfish", a reference to her first Oscar win in 1933.

Pharmacologically, it is of interest as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and accordingly as possibly relevant to Alzheimer's disease. It also has been investigated as a bactericide.

Nerine bowdenii
Nerine bowdenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is an herbaceous bulbous perennial, growing to 45 cm (18 in) tall by 8 cm (3 in), with strap-shaped leaves and large umbels of lily-like pink flowers in late summer and autumn. The common names of the species are Cornish lily, Cape flower, Guernsey lily, and Bowden lily.

Confusingly the name “Guernsey lily” is also applied to a related species, Nerine sarniensis.

The species was named in 1904 after Athelstan Cornish-Bowden who had sent bulbs of the plant to England from South Africa.
