Pl@ntNet had a little trouble with this one. It didn’t show up in World Flora or USA Flora but, finally showed up in Western Europe Flora. In the Asparagaceae family (which includes asparagus…yum), its genus & species is Ornithogalum Nutans. In this case, it is a Drooping Star of Bethlehem. ~Vic

Posted on August 22, 2021 Updated on August 23, 2021

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

POTD: Lilium

Posted on August 8, 2021 Updated on October 1, 2021

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
