Time lapse I pulled together this week from pix of our Art of Horticulture class building a sod sofa outside Roberts Hall on the Cornell University Ag Quad on Tuesday. Read more about it.

Just time for a couple of quick scans. Lots blooming. But no time to do anything really artsy-fartsy. Thanks, as usual, for Carol for hosting at May Dreams. More scans here. Flower scanning directions are here. Practice up. I’ll be judging the Picture This contest in October. See Nan’s post and scans.

Two entries in name that plant today.

This annual popped up near where I was hoping some cerinthe I grew in a container last year might be seeding around. Now that it’s flowering, even I know it’s not cerinthe. Name that plant.

This iconic WPA poster is so iconic, I can’t pin a name on the plant. Is it modeled after a real plant, or just an abstraction>

Picture below is from my friend Addy. (In addition to being a landscape architecture student and the one who keeps Minns Garden (and others) looking good all summer, she’s also a member of the Ithaca League of Women Rollers, skating for the BlueStockings.)

It’s their float for the Ithaca Festival parade — a work in progress here, but Addy promised to hook me up with more pix later.

That was the theme of last weekend’s Memorial Day potluck. Ticket to get in: a dish and a song about it. My favorite dish (and not a bad song):

Here’s the playlist with most of the songs.

And some pix shot by Marc and Carol. (More in Carol’s Facebook Photos.)

Corey and Noah once again take home one of the prizes — a vinyl record melted into a bowl.
