When I bought a hanging pot of pansies last October, it was to replace a broken bird feeder that squirrels kept raiding. We moved the bird feeder to a more rodent-proof spot but were left with an empty porch hook—a spot for hanging flowers, I decided.
The pansies were dark purple and glorious. Their pot overflowed in happy green vines, so heavy that it took both hands for me to hang it. We could see the plant from our dining area window, and I was pleased with my purchase. The tag attached to the pot said, "Cold weather friendly," and cooler days approached. The pansies announced their royal splendor daily as the trees behind them, along our creek, turned tired and lost their withering leaves.
