Pansies, Anyone?

Everything about a garden doesn't always go as planned. Things bloom when they feel like it, not at all or even, in some instances, when you think they're dead.

These pansies? Should have been annuals, and should have never made an appearance in this year's garden. I figured that after the long, cold winter they were surely goners.

Apparently they had a different idea. And I'm glad, because they are truly breath-taking!

Unfortunately the poppies I planted last year, and expected to see this spring, croaked. I am sorely disappointed but realize it's all part of the gardening adventure. Besides, how can anyone be unhappy when the pansies are so pretty? Hmm?

Any unexpected news from your garden?

My pansies always come back! I love them.

So sorry about your poppies :-(

I lost odd things this winter -- my painted daiseys for one (after having them for six years!).

Gardening is indeed an adventure.
