Flowers and reflections
Last year my wife planted these flowers (six different kinds–only two and a bit of a third can be seen in this photograph) in the planter box on our deck. After a month or two they died, as flowers do, which was good actually. Normally we plant something and the deer eat them by the next morning. The deer didn’t touch these.
We did nothing to the planter box over the winter. The dead flowers remained. This spring they have all come back to life and have been giving us great visual pleasure for the past month plus. Incredible flowers these are–to be able to bounce back like this after sitting under snow and freezing temperatures all winter and at the same time not be tempting to the deer.

Yep, they’re great! And so is your photo and that glorious blue sky. Nice job.

That’s certainly impressive after your freezing winter. Sturdy pansies!
