Flower Thoughts

My grandma's favourite flowers were pansies - the purple ones. She said they always reminded her of delicate faces.
As the summer warms up, the pansies go dormant. They are cool weather flowers. I still have some, blooming quietly under foliage. I have to peek down to look at them and am rewarded by the play of light and shadow, colour and form.

    Hi Lorrie,

    As a kid I loved to pick pansies. They are so delicate and colorful.
