It was overcast at 5:28 a.m., and despite the storm that was to arrive soon, there was no "red sky in the morning." A little pinkishness to the west, and no sight of the sun. So let the little pop of red in that columbine stand in for the sun. Click and click again to enlarge and increase the chance of seeing the columbine.
Talk about whatever you like in the comments.
ADDED: Is it fennel? Sweet fennel — that's what my plant identification app told me. But here's my post from last year, at the same location, and the plant app said Golden Alexander. The important point is just that it's not the hated plant called wild parsnip. So don't get cranked up about that.

As predictable as it is maddening, disgusting, and wrong.
Democrats as party of the people my ass.
We aren’t being governed, we are being ruled.
Let them eat cake.
I remember playing disc golf at Vallarta-Ast in Token Creek County Park back when I had a student at UW. That place was loaded with wild parsnip.
Oh wow. Wisconsin is so hip; plants have picked up on distant homosapien trend, identifying as some other plant, from one day to the next.
I'm no biologist, but it sounds to me like a climate change coping mechanism.
did the Professora gather some fennel for her kitchen?
Google informs me that I really do not want to look closely at columbine.
Headline: "Twitter roasts George Takei for gun control tweet that accidentally supports 2nd Amendment"
The downside of his argument snuck up on George Takei. A sign of ideological possession, or is that too harsh, maybe?
Bless his heart
Posted on an earlier thread about the MRI dye shortage. Spoke with my daughter today who works in the imaging department at the local hospital. According to her, the shortage is real and severe. As a result, MRI's are being delayed in a significant way.
I was tempted to snark off about "hated wild parsip", but then I saw this.
Quaestor's favorite fennel.
Eastern Columbine - western is violet and white. WE had both for awhile, but they died out. poor soil and lack of attention.

Anybody seen 200 Mules?
Is that worth paying for?

Depends. does it cost 1/10 the price of 2000 mules? Might be worth it then. :)
Trying to watch the idiots on my phone. It's not working. Will have to catch excerpts tomorrow.
Pepperoni gets its flavor from fennel. If I'm having a couple of pizza slices I like to put fennel on one, oregano on the other.
De-lish!
Horror grips us as we watch you die.
All we can do is echo your anguished cry.
Stare as all your human feelings die,
We are leaving,
You don't need us.

So Paul Pelosi pulled a Trump and hired a lawyer. Paul is a nobody.
Speaking of TFG, be sure to tune into the hearings that start tomorrow to find out just how a real mafioso Don steps over the line to plan and execute a government overthrow.
It's 2000 mules, not 200, and it depends. If you are already convinced that the 2000 election was stolen, then -- yeah, you should watch it. You'll be amazed.
If you are already convinced that the 2000 election was perfectly legitimate, then -- yeah, you should watch it. You'll be amazed.
So Nancy's husband walks, whilst she stands over the biggest fraud of a show trial in American History?? What a freaking Country. There is going to be a civil war, and that woman is going to be part of the start OF it.

The DUI charges against Paul Pelosi were dropped despite the fact that drunk driving kills more children than AR-15s.

No Justice, No Peace.
"If I was the Attorney General of the United States, I'd say arrest them all," she said of protestors breaking the law at Justice Kavanaugh's home. "And Biden should say they absolutely should be prosecuted — you cannot do this — they have to take a stand tonight," she said. "And if they don't take a stand tonight, they are complicit."
"The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has been slow-walking this bill that passed the Senate unanimously to protect Supreme Court justices," Perino also noted. The Supreme Court Police Parity Act, a bipartisan effort guided to unanimous passage in the Senate by John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chris Coons (D-DE) has yet to be taken up by House Democrats. "Why is she doing that?" Perino asked of Pelosi's inaction in the month since the bill passed the upper chamber. "Fast-track it tonight — and if you don't, you're complicit."
To close the segment, Perino again reiterated to Democrats that, "if you don't do something about it tonight, you're complicit." -Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary
Guess what. They did NOTHING. THEY ARE COMPLICIT just like we all knew they were. They are asking for a civil war.
“In the history of our species, a number of civilizations have practiced or allowed human sacrifice, including the sacrifice of children … Will we be recorded as such a society?” _Democrat Jamie Raskin, not realizing he is talking about his own party who is fighting for THAT right, and a man tried to kill Judge Kavenaugh because OF it. Open your eyes Progressives YOU are the murderers sacrificing children.
“Social Security and Medicare both face long-term financing shortfalls under currently scheduled benefits and financing. Costs of both programs will grow faster than gross domestic product (GDP) through the mid-2030s primarily due to the rapid aging of the U.S. population. Medicare costs will continue to grow faster than GDP through the late 2070s due to projected increases in the volume and intensity of services provided.”- Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees
Too bad Nasty Nancy and her coharts don't care about YOU. All they care about is GETTING TRUMP, hence the show trial tonight that the clowns are putting on to amuse what's left of their base.
“ DUI charges against Paul Pelosi dropped”
Please don’t pass around fake news. This is untrue. Commenters here should know how to Google sources.
You would think Dr. Jill would have installed a stair glide on air force one by now. Geez the poor slub is gonna break a hip.
Per WSJ and Yahoo:"Nicholas John Roske, 26 years old, of Simi Valley, Calif., was allegedly carrying a pistol with two magazines and ammunition, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties and various household tools at the time he was arrested, according to the Justice Department. Federal agents spotted Mr. Roske at 1:05 a.m., dressed in black clothing and carrying a backpack and a suitcase as he got out of a taxi in front of Justice Kavanaugh’s house, the Justice Department said. He told the 911 call taker he came from California to “kill a specific United States Supreme Court justice,” the court records contend."
So HOW did he fly from California to Maryland with all that gear?? Did he buy it once he got there?? How did he get that much money if he just graduated from college. Something isn't adding up...once again..just like the kid in Dallas who was living in poverty but bought over $5000 worth of weapons.
House Democrats on Wednesday evening blocked a bill to provide more security for Supreme Court justices and their families.....WHY??
Because they are complicit. IF something happens to one, the blood will be all over their bodies. They don't care. Watch the show trial though. See how scared AOC was when she thought she would be raped and killed, even though she wasn't in the building.
This just proves what a joke the monkeys in our congress really are. They are circus performers. I see them all as a bunch of clowns
different image for common fennel?

To be Fair, The Charges Have NOT been dropped (YET), the DA says that the charges are "Under Review"
So They HAVEN'T Been dropped(YET) and Won't be dropped (til review is done and people aren't looking)

Tell that to the people still claiming Trump collusion with Russia
Good read....https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/06/stop_it_just_stop_it.html
@Narayanan
Yeah, based on the leaves, I think golden alexander was the correct identification.
I'm sure it's not wild parsnip though. This just isn't a place where they would allow something like that to take over, but also here's a video about identifying wild parsnip, and it has distinctive leaves and stem (plus it's taller).

^^THIS^^ We all know that means they will drop them when nobody is looking. Nancy will get her way as usual. You may as well start calling her Queen Nancy.
'To be Fair, The Charges Have NOT been dropped (YET), the DA says that the charges are "Under Review"'
I found three separate sources and posted one of them.
If they are wrong then my apologies.
I will predict it will hang around and just go away, down the memory hole.
Try this one instead:

The real nasty is giant hogweed, like wild parsnip but much taller (4-5 feet!). They have in common a sap that makes skin super-sensitive to sunlight (as in: You'd better stay inside in the daytime for the next year or so), but the hogweed's is more potent. They are very common around here; we had a very wet spring, so everything is growing outrageously, and there's hogweed on most of my favorite walks. Stay back! (One place a few blocks from my house has both giant hogweed and poison oak. Yummy.)
Coincidentally, I'm just rereading an Elizabeth George novel, Missing Joseph. The plot involves a man killed when a woman serves him what she thought was wild parsnip, but turns out to be water hemlock. Totally different critter, and much nastier. You can eat wild parsnip, after all. Eating water hemlock causes you to die, and not prettily. The woman in question here is an herbalist, and therefore it's a cause of concern that she didn't see the totally different tubers below ground -- one for parsnip, a whole bunch for water hemlock.
When I looked up giant hogweed online, I saw that the sun-exposure warnings go for wild parsnip as well. The only superficially similar plant that doesn't is Queen Anne's Lace, which ISTR is basically wild carrot.
Wild parsnip is also not yet in bloom.
So Here you Go! It is TOTALLY INACCURATE to say that 'charges have been dropped'
BECAUSE NO CHARGES HAVE EVEN BEEN FILED!!!!!!!
Nancy Pelosi husband’s DUI court date set; no decision yet on potential charges
..no decision has been made on whether he will face criminal charges.
Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley announced Thursday that Paul Pelosi agreed to a court date of Aug. 3 at 8:30 a.m. in Napa County Superior Court.
If criminal charges are filed, he will be arraigned at that time. Haley said her office is currently reviewing charges stemming from the DUI arrest of Paul Pelosi
This explains it ALL! NO! charges have NOT been dropped; because
BECAUSE NO CHARGES HAVE EVEN BEEN FILED!!!!!!!
Well, giant hogweed is, at least around here. I wonder how long the Salem authorities will wait before mowing it all down. They've done that previous years, but this year the, um, outbreak has been very severe.
Who ever thought that something called "Giant Hogweed" would take off as an ornamental plant, anyway? Because that's how it got here, as an introduced ornamental. When you see a big one in bloom, it's like, "Get thee behind me, Satan!"
Anyway, I agree with other commenters that what you have there isn't fennel -- finocchio -- but something else. Fennel is extremely easy to identify: Break off a leaf, and smell.
