Last week Friday, you were challanged to identify this photo fragment:
You have patiently awaiting the announcement of the winner. One commenter wanted assurance that it wasn’t pickled pig’s feet, because that would be gross. Another asked if it was a water-soaked cheese doodle. You can relax it’s neither one of those. Perhaps I owe these two an apology for the misdirection. They’ll never trust me again.
And here you have the wide angle view of this beauty in our formal garden.
And the winner, being the first to correctly identify the species and the botanical portion of the image, is Meghan.
Meghan said…
Good morning, neighbor! Is it a close up of daffodil stamens?
Congratulations, Meghan, you are the latest recipient of the Tommy Toe Award.
The Tommy Toe gets its name from what my mother used to call this wonderful fruit that makes such wonderful sandwiches with bacon and lettuce. The BLT was one of my mother’s favorites. Every year when fresh tomatoes were available in the garden, she would get together with a friend and they would make BLTs for lunch. I remember those days well, and I still consider the BLT to be one of my favorite sandwiches.
Lots of good guessers out there. Mikki Black said… I agree with Meghan – it’s got to be a flower’s pollen stash!
Lin said…I’m thinking it’s the private parts of a flower?
vanilla said…Guess: anthers in one of your gorgeous bloomin’ flowers. Possibly Stella d’Oro?
The Stella d’Oros are not yet in bloom here in west Michigan. The iris and daisys have just blossomed.
Thanks to all who participated and congratulations to Meghan. She calls me neighbor, because her property and ours abut. She is also the owner of the beautiful and delightful creature, Grace the llama. We enjoyed eggs from her hens at breakfast this morning.
Stella D’Oro? Those are Italian cookies! LOL
I cannot believe that was flower innards. Holy cow.

Hey, I’m a wiener! I never win anything.
Has it been that long since I’ve been over? I may have to take Grace for a walk this weekend!
Oh Lin,
Shultz might have gotten the idea for Lucy from observing you.
I must say, I do admire your competitive spirit. One might think you grew up playing ice hockey, but you do have all your teeth. They are your teeth aren’t they?
Am I going to end up with more Violet-shaped scars? 😉

Some people just aren’t good sports, even if their kids are. I wanted to WIN, Chuck. Isn’t it all about winning??? Some people in my family say if I was a Peanuts character, I’d be Lucy. I don’t see it, do you?
Usually clueless on these things, but still enjoy them. It’s all about perspective.

Vanilla, daffodil is done, day lily not yet begun.
ba_hutch, no son, it is not a plunger, but it shows you’re thinking.
Rita T, Must be unmitigated brilliance.
Lin, Meghan was last here when the ground was still frozen and even the crocus hadn’t stuck their heads up. (She was delivering a lamb from the butcher. I wrote her a big fat check.) The eggs were good, but Sylvia drove to her house and bought them. Are you acting “fake miffy” again? Or am I in deep trouble yet again? 😉
DArn, I lost??? It can’t be. I think she cheated. Even if she is nice and has Grace the llama and brings you fresh eggs from her hens. Cheater. Big time. I think she saw the flowers in your yard when she came over bearing gifts–it was a ruse.
How in the world did she guess that? Amazing.
Are you sure it is not a plunger?
Good one. Amd a gorgeous daffodil it is. (Our daffs are gone and the day lilies are starting.)
