Pansy Perspectives







A few weeks ago I added some "Jumbo Giants" pansy seedlings to our garden. It's been my pleasure to watch the first bud gradually grow and try to open. The flower appeared fully formed yet still bowed over under the weight of it's huge petals, completed hiding it's face. After recent showers and wind I decided to pick it today so I could see it's pretty face and keep it safely inside for us all to enjoy.
