I have to say, I do love roses but each and every year I always find myself drawn to pansies! The beautiful bright and bold colors just seem to brighten up the dullest days.
I'll leave you with a sweet little pansy poem.
O give me not red roses,
That early dews have wet!
They speak to me of kisses
That are remembered yet.
O bring me not white roses,
That summer winds have drest!
For once I placed white roses
Upon a quiet breast.
But bring me purple pansies
If so you wish to please,
For them I have affection;
For pansies are "heart's ease".

Hi Siobhan,
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, pansies are so beautiful..and colorful. I love so many different flowers that it is hard sometimes to focus on just one.
Hi Siobhan,
