April 8th, 2013: Tropaeolum (Tropaeolum moritzianum) by Tomtom
Great photo, Tomtom. She always makes the most gorgeous containers. We always look forward to her pictures for inspiration.
Sideways this reminds me of the less common impatiens.
All this time I thought TomTom was a gentleman. LOL. I even had a picture of him in my mind that I guess I made up. I always so enjoyed TomTom's threads and photos! She is missed!
Where was I for this one?!!! Somehow I missed it......Wow! Beautiful and another to research....
Glad you picked this one Kell, and great picture Tomtom!

I did take a look or more at Tomtoms 2012 works Arlene. I was in awe, and sent a message. Thank you for bringing Tomtom's talents to my attention...
I'm starting to understand the name "Pirl" more now. You are a great thread weaver! Thank you.
David
She is just wonderful and so gracious.
Pirl actually stands for the initials of my dear former neighbor in my previous home, who taught me to garden - Pauline Isabelle Reid Loeffler. She was the real PIRL, while I'm just the imitation. This is a photo of her at 90 years old on our wedding day.
