Klasse!****

Danke Karl. Jetzt erst konnte ich das Original als PIP einsetzen.

WOW WOW WOW!! This is outstanding! So beautiful. What a great idea. I love the inset too. These blossoms are just wonderful. Thank you for sharing! I'm inviting this picture to the Pictures for Pam group because I'm sure she will love this! :)

Thank you Janet.
The inhabitants of the altiplano, made necklaces of cantutas that they would hang on their doorways as a symbol of hospitality and welcome for visitors. The women of the islands in Lake Titicaca who are single maintain the tradition of wearing a cap that takes the form of a cantuta flower. In this way, during the various celebrations the youths have no trouble figuring out who are the young, unmarried women they can court.
Its thin branches are used to make baskets and from its leaves a yellow dye is made. The cantuta also is said to have medicinal properties. People say it fights diarrhea when its stem of leaves are taken as infusions, as well as cough, jaundice, and inflammation of the eyes

gut gemacht!

Danke.
