The Pansies Are Coming

Well, to be exact, it is not pansies that are coming, it is mostly violas that are coming to the containers.  But I did want to share a couple pictures to get you enticed.  Still not done planting all the pots but getting close, then I'll redo the map and show you pictures of the finished products.  Have to explain why I do more violas than pansies.  The violas produce more flowers, need less deadheading and handle the hard cold temperatures better.  Besides that, I think that they are cuter. 

 
 
This viola Primrose Picotee jumps right out at you and asks to be taken home.  I've paired it with Liberty Yellow Snapdragon to echo the yellow on its face.
 
 
 
Doesn't that bright yellow color make you feel good....and think how it would pair up with reds, purples, blues....just about anything.
 
And then there is sweet Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow....yep that's its name.  Each flower is slightly different....sweet is the best way to describe this one.
 
Be back next time with more pictures and finished containers.  Gotta get those containers planted....folks seem to think they are giant trash bins and are putting their cigarette butts, lollipop sticks, and more, into the fresh dirt I had prepared.
