POTD: Hunter’s Moon 2021
Last year’s Hunter’s Moon was also a Blue Moon and fell on Halloween. It’s also called a Blood Moon and I did a write-up in 2018. Full illumination occurred at 10:56am EDT, yesterday. Howl for me! ~Vic

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
