POTD: Well Groomed

Posted on October 5, 2021

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

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

Posted on September 18, 2021

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

Posted on September 14, 2021

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
