Second Place

19 of the Best Pansy Varieties to Grow at Home | Gardener's Path

I am a garden pansy, a descendent of the family Viola, poet's write praises of me not just these days; but in the days of Spencer and Shakespeare, I am that old, I am a small flower but a garden survivor. You planted me in early Spring in the partial sun, I love the sun and soon showed my purple face; I am a cheerful upturned bright and happy garden flower, symbolizing thinking and thoughts for you. In the summer months butterflies caress my petals, and bees steal my nectar but I have tons; I love watching the birds fluttering about the garden, oh, chipmunks bite 'cause I am edible !

Pansies, though small are so attractive with a bright golden nape around the violet corolla. You have presented the flower as the most coveted presence in a garden. A lovely personification. All the best dear Constance.

a delightful personification. You wrote it with class and flowing eloquence. I especially liked "I am a cheerful upturned bright and happy garden flower, symbolizing thinking and thoughts for you." Pansies truly are beautiful, and you've captured their beauty perfectly. Best wishes with the contest, Sara
