Flowers From Our Yard: Pansies
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
Our pansies have recovered from the snow and cold of the past two months and are now blooming in the sunshine of the past few days. It's wonderful to see these cheery blossoms in various places about the yard.
How wonderful, George to have pansies in the garden. We are waiting for the crocuses and daffodils. They are about to appear now any day! Thanks for your sympathy with the people of Christchurch.
Pansies have been a childhood favorite of mine! I've even learned to paint them and have done so on some antique pieces. So now I can have them all year round! Have a fabulous day! Debbie's Travels
You are making me feel very jealous, George. It's snowing here and we are expecting more snow tonight so I guess I will continue to post mostly white and grey photos for a while. :)
How adorable in the bleak mid-winter!! We have just never had any luck with them, but I think we plant them when it's still too hot, I'm trying again this fall.
Oh I am sure they brighten your day George with their pretty yellow heads And I feel sorry for them having to sit outside in the cold.
We are also having weather thats a bit colder than usual. I wonder how long its going to last.They expect -17 tomorrow and that mighty cold for us here.

Hi George, Pansies are such cheerful plants. Thanks for sharing this morning.

The pansies did not have enough.
I can see the black eyes.

Pansies are the do-all and most forgiving plant aren't they. Ever cheerful. MB

I always find Yellow and Brown colors a good combination. This flower is such a pretty.
Wow! Already blooming. Beautiful colors.
Now that's a cheery face to look at,especially when outside it is cold.
The ARE just like sunshine, aren't they?

How lucky you are to be having such early blooms like this. I never had much luck with pansies, but yours are doing great.
In your garden now? Oh my - envy here.
I've been watching for crocus and hope the deer didn't find them before I saw them. :)
Wonderful tones, is the pure beauty and delicious. Saludos
You can't keep a good pansy down.
I love pansies. I still don't understand how they survive the winter weather but they love it. They are happy little flowers.
I love this hardy little guy! Great shot.
OMG I didn't know that pansies are perennial? It's very pretty!
