Pansies for Nellie Mae

Over the weekend I had a sudden burst of wanting to spruce up our garden. I don't have a very consistent green thumb, but when I get the urge, I get very excited. I had so much fun getting my hands dirty. At the nursery some purple pansies caught my eye and I knew I just had to buy them, for they were my grandma's favorite flower. Today just happens to be her birthday, so here are my pansies in honor of sweet Nellie Mae.

  1. I love this! We planted pansies this year in honor of grandma, and they have been rocking for the last month or so. Happy birthday to sweet Nellie Mae!

  2. I have such a brown thumb that I didn't realize what those flowers were called. I'm glad I stopped by and found out. I've been thinking of them for a small planter on my front porch. I might try them this year. My thanks to you and your beloved grandmother.
