Whenever I think I’m bored with pansies, and won’t buy any this year, I look at this photo and start looking for my wallet and car keys. This was taken a few years ago in the springtime at Filoli in Woodside, California.

Really lovely, I so enjoy formal gardens
I just love pansies.
Pansies always bring joy and remind me that Spring is here. In South Africa, where I grew up, in the Afrikaans language they are called "gesiggies", which means "little faces".
Paiya, I had to smile reading your post cause I always say I love pansies and violas because of their little smiling faces. I will remember "gesiggies" and pass on my new found knowledge.
The pansies are lovely, but what I really like is the brickwork pattern!
Gesiggies! I love it! Pansies are so happy. I always plants them around my doorways as I find that everyone smiles when they see pansies.
