Pansies

Yellow and purple pansies bravely persist Despite the frosty chill and impending cold These delicate little blossoms in a pot insist Yellow and purple pansies bravely persist They outlast other dying plants and resist Such charm they exhibit, still flowering bold Yellow and purple pansies bravely persist, Despite the frosty chill and impending cold.

yellow and violet combined are supposed to signal "romance" but I think pansies do too. You have made them appealing!

I hope I did them justice, Caren. They look so nice on my front porch when I look out on these chilly fall mornings.

Pansies and camellias are my favorite winter flowers. They thrive in cold weather here. Sweet write, milt.

Thanks so much, Jenna. I have a pot of pansies sitting on a table on my little front porch. They've bravely withstood several mild touches of frost. I brought them in one night when I thought a hard frost might be too much. They are beautiful.

I love Pansies; they are so pretty, bright and cheerful; now I know they are brave, too. I like them more.

Thank you, Shirley. When all the other flowers have faded and the blooms dropped off, the pansies will still be struggling to stay alive as long as possible.
