Flower cheer

music: Sounds of the Sixties


I'm rather a snob about plastic hanging baskets but when I saw a selection containing violas on special offer at the garden centre a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist. The violas have survived heavy rain, strong winds and dark days and are still smiling at me for less than the price of a bunch of flowers. Value!

I spent ages picking the variety I liked best.

I love violas more than pansies. Such cheerful little faces!

Me too. I think pansies have been bred to look rather big and blowsy.

Hee, yes. They're brave little things.

I feel the same way about plastic pots, but I would not have been able to resist those little pretties either.

They're having a lot to put up with today but they still look nice.
