Extrapolantaring at its finest.

It's the single most popular cheese in the world.

Thank you. There were so many Oleander on our trip. Such a joyous burst of colour. I really like the leaves as well.

We have Convolvulus in our garden that keeps getting in under the rear fence from a neighbour. Ours doesn't flower that often but it's really aggressive in how it grows. Have you found any effective ways of stopping it from spreading, or ever felt that you've managed to completely eradicate it only for it to come back?

Thanks for the answers :)

Thanks for the nudge on how to post more photos, and the compliment on the photos themselves 😁

East coast US must be a beautiful environment to explore. These pics are however from northern Italy, roughly latitudinally equal to the coast of Maine near the border with Canada. That kind of blows my mind because Italy seems quite southern to my European mindset.

Thank you. Following your lead it looks to be a Geranium Nodosum but I need to dig a little deeper to find a closer match than the top 5+ most common variants that I'm currently finding. Quite a few Nodosums have petals that appear wider overall, and more crenated.

I'll try out the various apps suggested here as I imagine their lists of varieties will be more extensive.

Thanks, have added these names to the photo. The Spiraea was in the garden of the hotel, just west of Verona. Most of the flowers were from Lombardia in the hills to the west of Lake Garda.

The photo of the Succisa Pratensis wasn't very flattering compared to some of the patches we saw of it. I thought I had taken a nicer photo of it showing more abundantly but apparently not. According to Wikipedia it was used to treat scabies, and sores caused by bubonic plague. Now it's just a weed or a meadow flower I guess. Will do some further reading - thanks again.

As a dilettante of a number of subjects relative to this map, it makes me wonder if the process of putting it together gave you any deeper insights into the individual settlements and/or how they interacted with each other - or any other points of interest that you might have come upon while creating the map.

Is this subject matter also within your profession?
