Pansies

I love the array of colors pansies  have. I got this one before summer, and planted in the backyard. They are a little leggy now, but they will do just fine. This flower, like many others in my yard, need something around them, so that the snails do not eat them. If I do not keep a close eye, I do not get any flowers.

Violas and Pansies

It is the time of the year to plant pansies and violas. My violas are volunteers from plants that I bought several years ago, may be around four years ago. However, I went to the garden and could not see any growing now.

May be it is a hint to go to the Nursery and buy some :-)

Thanks for dropping by,

December Northern California - Bay Area - Things To Do #7 - Flowers

This is time to plant some of the flowers that grow well during the winter months here in the Bay Area. You can see in the stores calendulas, cyclamens, pansies, and primroses.

I have to find some space to put some cyclamens in my yard :-) I have johnny jump ups growing as volunteers in my yard.

I planted the primroses several years ago. They keep coming back. Slugs and Snails love them as much as I do. In other words, I will only have the pleasure of seeing the flower - which in my opinion have  fantastic colors -, if, and only if, I put the bait.
