Flowers For Easter...

 Pansies and violas are what I bought to put into some containers.  I like the burgundy and yellow.
 I did not want to get too many...you know, just in case it gets a bit cold at night. But the store had these outside. I bought a flat of this mix.  Gave my daughter, Angie, a couple for a container on her porch. I bought a couple plants of something called Stock. I have never had this flower before. Always willing to try something new. It was a deep rose color.
I wish all of you a Happy Easter and a day filled with love of family and friends.  xo

  6. Happy Easter, Susie! I hope you had a fun day with your family! Love the colors of the pansies. They always make me smile. I don't have anything yet. Love that stock. Looks like from the carnation family, maybe. We had a wonderful spring day here. Hope you got one, too!

  8. Those plants are pretty hardy. I've always seen them outside whatever store I was working in, in the early spring. A belated Happy Easter.
