Pansies, after a rescue mission

My next door neighbor offered me all of her moribund pansies. They were once grown in small containers, placed on her front steps and front porch. I said, “ No, but thank you anyhow”.

A week later I found them in the brown paper-recycling leaf bag on the side-walk, seemingly all dried up and ‘dead’. I did not have the heart to let go of them. I gave them plenty of water and immediately planted them in the ground in my back yard. During the hot dry spell, I made sure that they had extra water.

It is my pleasure to report that they have all recovered and are doing “very well”. I wish I had taken pictures to show what they looked like before the rescue mission.

The photo above was shot this morning.
