P for Pansy

"Isn't Pansy quite the best,
Quite the best for P?"

Extract from 'The Pansy Fairy' by Cicely Mary Barker.

Despite our marvellous sunny days, the nights have been very cold around zero and below and the days have been blowing a hard north-easterly wind which has made it seem very cold!

This is one of my planted pansies on the balcony. I had to pick one little bloom to take the photo as the wind is just too strong to get a clear shot! I do love the pale upper petals in a soft orange and the more intense colour towards the middle.

Thank you to Anni/BikerBear who hosts our lovely FlowerFriday.
