Autumn Pansy

Throughout the changing seasons, in Oregon, there is one flower that outlasts them all.  It is the pansy. They are the first to bloom in the spring and last to go after it freezes. I've planted several containers with them this week.   It doesn't take a great deal of effort to plant a few old pots with pansy's.  Will you find time to give yourself the gift of a pansy or two?  It's worth considering, don't you think?

Be sure to pinch back the fading blooms and fertilize regularly. 
   And, if you need a flower to top off a cupcake..this is the one to use!

I love pansy. They grow throughout the year here, I've got many of them all in one big pot but yours seem so much bigger :) I bought the seeds and it shown multiple colours...but only the blue ones bloomed ;) Happy weekend. Hugs..M

Pansies were the first flower I planted when I got to Ireland. They are slowly growing. Not as quickly as in Oregon. I hope they make it through Nov. here. It is getting colder much sooner here.

Love the pansies and the cupcakes
I should plant some in the spring if they are easy to grow (o:

Some of the pansies near our porch bloom all year, even in the winter. They are such tough little blooms but appear so delicate.

Cupcakes with pansies on top, yum!
