Procrastinating Pansies
I spent quite a bit of time outdoors Sunday and some on Monday too! I was working on my back deck area. I got alot done, but still need to add in a few more beauties. I was hoping to show you some progress photo's but then the rains came and slowed down me down.
So today for Outdoor Wednesday, I am sharing these little beauties! They are the last to leave the party! Much like the energizer bunny they just keep on going and going!
I planted these pansies last year sometime... I think? I'm guessing close to Halloween because of their coloring but I'm really not sure. I just don't remember when I put these in!You see, I had this window box on our fence in the backyard and only recently moved it onto the deck. When I moved it up here they weren't around, but soon showed up rather quickly. They seem to love it here and are blooming daily. I call them "Johnny Jump Ups" and they certainly are living up to their name! Sadly, I really am waiting for them to exit before starting a new breed! However, I am now questioning how long does one wait? They truly are hanging in there! And now I know if someone says don't be a pansy, what they really mean is, stop waiting around or stop procrastinating! But, I will wait, and enjoy the beauty that they are! Hope you did too! Thanks for joining me! Come back next week for the total reveal of the deck.Please join the following link for more posts like mine @ http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ for Outdoor Wednesday!

Love pansies, and these are so pretty. They really do seem to be happy there. I have some petunias that are still around from last year too. I love it when they just keep on going. Can't wait to see all your hard work. Hugs, Marty

ReplyDeleteYou are doing a very nice job. I love your pansies. The colors are so pretty and bright.
ReplyDeleteAlways stop to smell the roses.. or pansies, whatever the case may be! If they are happy and still looking pretty, why not keep enjoying them? <3
ReplyDeleteMine are still going strong, Mary!
ReplyDeleteYour Johnny Jump Ups are darling! I think they will keep blooming until late summer? Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment about our gourmet dinner. Our daughter Ashley just graduated from culinary school in San Francisco. Basically everyone in my family cooks except me!
ReplyDeleteDon't blame you for not wanting to replace your pansies. They look fabulous! I wouldn't touch em!
ReplyDeleteHi.. I love pansies, funny what you said about the name.. I always think being a pansy is being a wimp... and my pansies are tough.. they keep going and going, even through the winter.
