I enjoy a nice pansy. While it isn't my number one flower (tulips and irises tie for that role), there is something about the hardiness of a good pansy that is rather inspiring. This pansy . . . actually it is probably a viola . . . was growing in the crack between my brick patio and my house. When it started to bloom I felt it was in a precarious situation: squashed roots and within reach of Ms. Crazy Preschooler who has a thing about picking pansies. So I scooped it out of the little crack and plunked it down in a cute little pot I found at Target. It is flourishing on my patio table outside.
