I too have some pansies blooming that wintered over from last fall,and millions of Violas.
A few photos of whats wintered over ,none of the pansies ..Those are at work,where we plant flowers for them..I clean a Dental office and they have 4 oak barrels I keep planted for them,now I have LOTS of volunteers growing all around the barrels in the white stone that fills the small area between the building and the sidewalk.Dr Tim asked me,you didnt plant those,nope...He Loves how full and over flowing the barrels are,and the volunteers ...Wait till this year,many more to pop up in the stones with a little help from mee.
Im turning it into pretty much a prernnial side walk Garden now...I love it soo much better now..
Lots of Larspur,did I say LOTS...
