Wow, one house away from me, I stumbled across these little Johnny Jump Ups (aka "Wild Pansy" or "Viola tricolor" at fancier establishments) volunteering themselves to the sweet spot where the concrete sidewalk meets the asphalt road!

Love #JohnnyJumpUps & put them in many different pots, in my front & backyards. Relative of #pansy & best contained because they spread easily.
I've always thought calling ppl a pansy as an insult on weakness was started by someone who doesn't #garden - #Pansies are super #ToughPlants & tolerate cold & heat well. They bloomed through snowfalls.
