Name that plant

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.

Sod skate

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.

Treble in the kitchen

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.
