The Pansy

OK this is not much to look at but it started growing unexpectedly in my vegetable garden last November. Probably a gift from birds visiting my bird-feeder.

I thought the December frost had killed it but after the week of rain we had in January it was blooming again. Because of it's tenacity thought I'd provide it safe habour and put it in a pot on our front porch. Now it is inside protected from the extreme cold. It's growing thin and spindly since pansies don't like really warm temperatures.

I looking forward to putting it back outside in the spring to continue to grow and bloom.
