Pansy Rescue!

I was at the greenhouse a few weeks ago and noticed a rogue pansy amidst a flat of ‘Beaconsfield’ pansies.

Instead of picking out that one plant, I plucked the flower and showed it to the owner.

Doh!

I should have bought the plant.

Anyway, she watched for it to rebloom and set me a picture a week or so of one in bloom. I asked her to hold it for me.

Then on Sunday, she texted me a picture of the whole flat. There were at least four more rogue pansies.

I told her I would buy them all.

I would rescue them.

And that’s just what I did earlier today. I bought six rogue pansies, perfect for planting in a couple of wire baskets that I like to put on each side of the back steps.

Aren’t they pretty?

Yes, I think they are, too.

Will my obsession interest with pansies and violas ever end?

Not likely.

Not as long as I’m gardening!

Not as long as there are pansies to rescue!
