ENDANGERED

Our Missouri Botanical Garden must have thousands of species of plants. Being a child of the concrete jungle, I usually have no idea what's what. We use a phone app called PlantSnap, which can identify most of them from taking a photo and comparing it to an image database. This is the bud of a Greek peony, which the app says is endangered. It's well cared for here.

We have the return of a big annual event at the garden this weekend, the Chinese cultural festival. It's a photo feast but the forecast is for on and off thunderstorms all day. If we can go, you will see it here.

Since I also posted some peonies today, I have to say, I should definitely get an identifier app. Our problem is having a resident who admitted she loves peonies, and boom bam, they're gone, probably to her dining room table. What can you do...(rhetorical question.)

An excellent shot.
