Pansies-Green Thumb Sunday
Aren't pansies cheery? Pansies say spring to me..
Love expanding the gardening season by planting pansies early in April.
I also plant icicle pansies in the fall but because of our cold spring they are very slow to develop this spring tho they made it thru the winter beautifully.....
Part of the tour of Fernlea was cash and carry day and I bought a flat of the new Flamenco ruffled pansy series, which are the pansies pictured above; then I also bought 2 pots.
One of the simple pots filled with bright faces of pansies and alyssum. All so cold tolerant.
See the new black mulch , 5 bags laid on the front garden ; accent the
lovely line of pansies ......
These flowers bring a smile to me, what spring flower says spring to you?

They are all pretty! I like hyacinths in the spring.
Pretty blooms Rosemary! I love those little yellow & purple violas with the alyssum. :)
Ooooh, those Flamenco pansies are very, very pretty, I can see how they would be hard to resist. I agree with you, Pansies really do say Spring to me, too!
Rosemary, I'd never heard of icicle pansies. They are beautiful. :-) What says Spring to me? I guess the crocus and grape hyacinth. (And the warmer weather!) lol
I love pansies for pressed flowers - I'm planning to put some between two pieces of cut glass for a pretty window hanging.
