Description

Pansies are one of the most popular and recognizable cool weather flowers with almost heart-shaped, overlapping petals in bright colors or bi-colors and often with face-like center markings. They grow only six to ten inches high and can spread up to ten to twelve inches across. They grow well in sun or semi-shade, and can tolerate cool weather. Although delicate, they are surprisingly hardy. And like their cousins, the violas and violets, the flowers are edible.

Took the distracting background out in PS and slightly adjusted the overall image.

Congratulations to Barbara Waldoch on her Jan 09 GRAND PRIZE WIN.

Take care all and have a lovely weekend.
