PRETTY PURPLES

Apr 11, 2015 18:03

I was smart; I stopped by Sularpsfarmen yesterday on the way home from work to buy pansies because I knew the weather forecast for the weekend was for nice weather and I knew Flyinge Nursery and Sularpsfarmen would be PACKED today and tomorrow. We've had several days of unbelievably gorgeous weather: 72 and sunny. California weather ( Read more... )

Ohh, so lovely - I absolutely love pansies. Really always háve to have some in my garden. I just bought and planted a bunch in the tall planters we have in front of the house. :)

The wind actually blew all the petals off the ones in the backyard pots. OY!

I like the (informal) German name for pansies, Stiefmütterchen, which translates as "little stepmothers". :-)

They are like little faces :)

I always get some pansies about this time of year - they only last until it heats up here - but so happy to see them in the spring. It might be staying warm enough to get them this week. Love, Lizardmom

They only last here until the heat as well, but today is FREEZING and super windy again. All the petals on the pansies in the backyard pots have blown off!!!

I love pansies, with their wide faces all done up! We had snow yesterday, but today it was SUNNY! First real sun all week. I have had a vitamin D deficiency this week.

I love Martin's study skills! Wow. I wish MY students had that much persistence!

Happy Spring!

He said the test today went pretty well, so I guess it worked. He has a math test tomorrow and 2 more big tests next week, oy!

Like everybody else, I love pansies, Liz.
I had a few come back from last year, but they are a bit scraggly. It is time to go buy some new ones, but I will probably wait until my sister is here next weekend. She likes to go to the garden shop with me, plus, I have too many other catching up errands this week after being away. Yes, next weekend must be pansy weekend.
Yours are sure pretty.

We always have a few pop up in the yard here and there. Pot escapees! :D
