A couple days ago, my husband went to Lowe’s to pick up some tools and I went with him. While he was looking for his stuff, I roamed the garden center. I didn’t plan to buy anything, only wanted to look at some flowers.
Then I saw these dark purple pansies for only eighty-eight cents a six-pack. Of course, I couldn’t resist making myself a little present.
For a few days, they were just sitting on my bay window as it was raining cats and dogs. But when it finally cleared up a bit, I replanted them and displayed them on my tricycle planter stand in the front yard.
This is my first flower planter this year. I hope the pansies will like their new location and flourish soon.
The link parties I am joining today are:
Cottage Flora Thursday @ Fish Tail Cottage,
Show and Tell Friday @ My Romantic Home,
Home Sweet Home Friday @The Charm of Home,
Friday Favorites @ Simply Sweet Home,
Fertilizer Friday @ Tootsie Time,
Blooming Friday @ Roses and Stuff.

Hi Olga,
Love your name Pansies and their happy faces:-) What a great deal too, i am gonna have to stop by Lowe's!
I bought live Basil at the grocery store and was thinking of you. Do you have Winco? It was 3-4 dollars for 5 tiny rooted plants, It's too early to plant oputside here so I pinched them to root out even more:-)
Hope your weather warms soon:-)
Hugs,
Bella
I love that deep color! I've been hearing so much about the rain your way. I hope you get going with your garden soon!
I love pansies and yours are so pretty. I also adore that cart they are in. I have never seen one like that.
I love your tricycle planter. Marshall's and Ross store sells them here, but I have been holding off buying one until I find a place to put one. Those dark purple pansies are some of may favorite colors of pansies. Enjoy your spring garden.
I love the tricycle!!!!the flowers are so beautiful:-)
I love pansies and violas!
Lots of color!
I love their flowers, when I was a child I used to think they were made of velvet!
Have a nice week end!
What a beautiful little garden area...pansies are so beautiful....Love your pansies in the cute planter!!! Have a beautiful week!!!
My all-time favourite - a pot of pansies. We don't find pansies here in the tropics. Love your tricycle. Mine is beginning to rust in places.

Your purple pansies are lovely in that beautiful planter, Olga. I always plant pansies and can't wait til our snow melts and the garden centers start bringing in flowers!

What a beautiful colour........I love pansie's. I actually bought some bought it snowed here a couple of days ago so I brought them into the garage near a window..... hopefully I can leave them outside. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures. Irina. :-)
That is my favorite color combination for pansies. I'm hoping to get some to plant this week. I have two planters on the front porch that I like to put them in . Thanks for sharing your pictures! ~~Rhonda
I ♥ pansies.

brick with the moss between it. Thanks for
linking up!

Oh, how i love pansies - one of the first to bloom & give color throughout the summer & well into fall. The fact that it self seeds is even more exciting! Thanks so much for linking up to Cottage Flora Thursdays - please come back again this next Thursday! xoxo, Tracie
Who can resist pansies? I love pansies and have planted the deep purple ones in the past; they are so beautiful!! Mine came back for a few seasons! Enjoy..
Thank you for visiting my blog! I've just become your new follower and love your blog. Anything with flowers grabs my attention right away. Your 88-cents-pansies and visit to Lowe's sounds like me. Don't they have the best deals? I love browsing through their flowers and plants. On a different note, I'd love to have your simple salsa recipe. Last night my husband asked if I put more peppers in the salsa. LOL! I didn't. The longer the salsa sets, the hotter it gets! Have a wonderful day.
That's a lovely Pansy!
