How Do They Do It!

These little flowers are incredible! Their petals are thin, petite, and very stubborn when it comes to cold weather. They hold their heads up high in freezing weather and cold winds. They burst with color and need very little maintenance. Pansies are one of only a few plants that can survive and thrive in the cold winters here in Alabama. I have planted them in specific areas around my house so I can see them when I look out my windows. Their tenacity amazes me and motivates me to weather the hard winters in my life. What motivates you through your winters?
