Just living is not enough . . . One must have sunshine,freedom, and a little flower.-Hans Christian Anderson
Yesterday I prepared our flowerbeds so I could plant several annuals this morning: petunias, pansies, and violets in between perennial standbys like delphinium, gerbera daisies, and saxifrage.
Here’s a tightly furled pansy just waiting to show off its purplish petals. I’ll post a followup picture when it opens. This image is in honor of Barbara, a sweet friend who happens to love anything PURPLE. Stop by her Nana’s Notes blog and tell her I sent you.



I love the contrast with the greens. A beautifully crafted photo.
I love how it seems to just be swaying in the air. ANd the colors are lovely in this combination.
Ok, can you see the tears flowing!! Beautiful picture and such sweet words. Thank you, dear friend.
