POTD: Fountain

Posted on December 6, 2020 Updated on December 7, 2020

I saw this at a side door at our Historical Museum. I have no idea how old it is or if it was always there, outside or came from inside. It’s interesting, though. ~Vic

I believe this is a Nipponica, a shrub in the Rosaceae family that is native to Shikoku, Japan. ~Vic

FFTD: Asteraceae

Posted on November 17, 2020 Updated on May 18, 2024

These cutie-pies are in the same family as these big daisies and these little daisies. I suspect this is in the Michaelmas group and possibly an Algar’s Pride. ~Vic

FFTD: Orange Eye

Posted on November 9, 2020 Updated on November 8, 2020

I had no clue about this one. Pl@ntNet certainly helps, assuming it is correct or that I chose properly. This is, possibly, a Buddleja Davidii or Summer Lilac and Butterfly-Bush. It is a flowering plant but, I thought the leaves were pretty, too. It’s native to Central China and Japan. ~Vic
