Yes, but we appreciate the thought.

That is very helpful with plant ID, to see the size, habit, leaves, as well as the blooms. It’s just gorgeous, and is probably neither of my speculated species.
5 years agoYup. We’re seeing this everywhere now. Grows in stalks to about 18 inches, so this isn’t a very revealing photo. Do you want to see the whole plant?
5 years agoOoooh!
5 years agoYep, and has roots that go down to Middle-Earth. But that’s not the blue flower I saw a few days ago so keep documenting. It was an intense dark blue, and I am predicting it was a large gentian or some kind of penstemon.
I’ve really enjoyed the plant life on your tours and appreciate you keeping the amateur botanists engaged and happy.

5 years agoBorage, lovely in teas.

5 years agoAgreed, I think it’s gorgeous.
5 years agoOf course it’s fennel. We saw this last spring in Greece also. You think I’d remember something like that from one year to the next, wouldn’t you?
5 years agoI don’t know. It looks pretty uncommon to me.
