Thanks Sue. I just love pansies and violas. So many great ones out now too. New ones all over.

I stopped at my local 'cheap grocery store' the other day, one of those places that stacks the produce on pallets and has one check out open with no help with your packing..

On the stand near the check out were some pots of 'Frizzle Sizzle' pansies. They looked very dried out so I didn't buy one. Well today I stopped by to pick up milk on the way home from work and they had reduced the prices to �1.49. So I came home with one. It doesn't look at all bad.

Still snow on the ground from an overnight dumping of 4 inches on Friday night, so I needed a touch of Spring!

LOL. To be truthful I have no clue what I have unloaded. I am over 7,000 now.

Though I thought it might be this one. These actually go by another name here. I will have to look for one in the nursery and let you know. I just wish this flower were bigger.
