MORE flowers in my garden - including a black pansy! π
Photo 1: Blackjack! In my rose garden among the other pansies. π Spotted yesterday, just had time to photograph these flowers today. π Photo 2: Hollyhock! Up against my pink fabric pansy shade. π Photo 3: Yellow rose! π Photos 4 & 5: A little lobelia flower I spotted in the pansy garden today! It only took several months' waiting for them to flower after planting the seeds - twice. π It's the blue Crystal Palace variety. π
