POTD: Well Groomed
This looks like something that would belong in an Alice in Wonderland book as an illustration. Pl@ntNet seems to think this is a Cupressus Arizonica. I’m not totally sure. ~Vic

POTD: Tulips
Pl@ntNet seems to think this is a Didier’s Tulip or Tulipa Gesneriana. There are so many tulip variations, it would be difficult to narrow down any particular one. There are lots of hybrids. They are all in the Liliaceae family. ~Vic

POTD: Corvair
Corvair: Portmanteau of Corvette & Bel Air. This is definitely a First Generation 1960s model. It’s a shame that it is not being cared for. It is parked at this house. ~Vic

POTD: Agaricaceae
I believe this is a Chlorophyllum Molybdites or a False Parasol (poisonous), which is frequently confused with the Macrolepiota Procera or the Parasol Mushroom (Edible).
Check out Mushroom World. ~Vic

POTD: Painted Pig
Every year, Hillsborough has a Hog Day. One particular year, I can’t remember which one, there was a pig painting contest. Here is one of them, placed in the yard of the Hillsborough Welcome Center. ~Vic

POTD: Delphinium
This could be a Delphinium Fissum or a Consolida Ajacis or a Rocket Larkspur. I’m not entirely sure. Pl@ntNet was not helpful. ~Vic

In an old town, you see old things. Companion piece to this post. ~Vic

POTD: Lilium
This is definitely a lily or Liliaceae but, what species? It could be a Candidum or, possibly a Longiflorum. It’s nearly impossible to tell even with Pl@ntNet. There are just too many varieties and hybrids. It’s beautiful, though. ~Vic

POTD: Sturgeon Moon 2009
I’ve been digging around in some old photos. I stumbled across this…apropos for the month. Full illumination for the August 2009 moon occurred at 8:54pm EDT on the 5th. I almost nailed the day! I did a 2018 post and a post last year. I didn’t take this one. This shot is much clearer than what my stupid-phone can come up with. It belongs to my buddy Ray and he doesn’t remember where he took it. The upcoming full moon will be full on the 22nd at 8:02am EDT. ~Vic
