I can see a reflection of someone sat on the toilet in ol' Edison's eyes. Is that an Ikea bathroom mat?

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

Seems like a good likeness, must surely be the one. Thank you. Oh and my wife was correct (again).

Interesting page - have made a note to look into this later, thank you.

Was the issue as described in this thread enough to be able to add in a fix for the bot to work here?

I can't offer any help with this personally as I don't have any relevant technical knowledge (just asking out of interest).

Impressive, thanks.

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 :)

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?
