This is her begonia. Literally. She loaned it to me to pamper this "summer" because she was going to be traveling a lot. It didn't grow very big but it packs a punch in what it did do. I've never seen such perfect, glossy leaves.
And now, 'cause every youngster and youngster-at-heart should have a carousel in their lives often, here's an Alaskan-themed one for Patti:
Caribou with Snowy Owl saddle.
Moose with Wolf saddle.
Dall Sheep.
King Salmon
Grizzly Bear
Walrus with Otter saddle.
Happy birthday, dear Patti.
Love and hugs, G
