This was such a sweet pansy I saw last Monday. My love of pansies goes back to my grandmother - I remember as a little girl she had me help her pick pansies from the rows by the house. This was in the 50's and she had a very special jello creation she would make when the ladies came to lunch. It was tall with a soft creamy yellow top over a dark purple bottom. Lemonade flavor on top and raspberry with dark cherries on the bottom. She would put it on an antique platter and decorate the plate with the pansies. I've loved pansies ever since and I can see that platter so clearly even though I was only 4 years old. Stay safe and healthy all . . .

What a wonderful and vivid memory Kathy. Your grandmother would be pleased that you remember this so well.
Great shot to accompany a great story.

A nice photo of the pansy Kathy. Nice fond memories that you remember in such clear details (like a computer)!

Kathy, in your narrative you've perfectly expressed your fond and nostalgic memories and sentiments, so that I can vividly imagine the described performance in my mind. Your beautiful Pansy photo concretely completes this impression.
Very well done!

Take care, stay safe and healthy!

Wonderful memories, and your capture makes it even more special. I love the way the pansies fill the scene, gentle colors and the angle is perfect.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
