Pansies & Violas really are such cheerful flowers. I live in South Carolina where we plant Pansies in the fall and leave them until it gets too hot in the spring (May). After growing up in Indiana I love having these and flowers like Camellias for lovely winter color.

OK, I will water them when the growing season starts and see if they come back. Thanks for the High Altitude Gardening FB site. Love learning and that is right up my mountain!!!

I’m not sure about that altitude, Bev,…it must be challenging, but one of my favorite garden websites in High Altitude Gardening http://www.highaltitudegardening.com Let us know with a picture if they do!

You are so right, Sandy, … the multi-colored, larger ‘Blueberry Thrill’ are pansies. I guess I’ve been calling them violas so much because I usually plant the smaller, single-colored ones that I call violas. Latin for both are violas!

Pansies and Violas are so happy and a favorite of mine.

It gets really cold here at 7,000. I wonder if they will come back too???

I am thrilled you saved the wheelbarrow from the dump and turned it into a gorgeous work of art.

So pretty and happy! Your wheelbarrow looks adorable. The area you have set up looks very welcoming to those arriving at your home.

I know you know this
