#purple #pansy #rainbowdelight with #Gazania #sunshinemixed bud photobombing 26/08/19

@kez001uk Think my gazania is still a few days away from flowering!

Gorgeous colour - looks navy blue 💙💜

Yes it does in this photo but it’s a very rich dark purple 😊 @anges

@bluefox23 it’s getting there though 😁 mine all seem to be getting nibbled 😡

@Charlotte Thanks very much for asking. Means a lot. In himself he is ‘back to normal’ and wounds etc have all healed. We saw the consultant who confirmed it was cancer in kidney, Stage 3 as had started to grow out of it but all removed and don’t think any cells broke away (as much as they can tell) so regular CT scans to monitor over next 5 years. Glad he had the op though and it all removed. Now just got to do what he’s told by a different specialist to keep remaining kidney as healthy as poss

Love how these #white #pansy #rainbowdelight have lined up 😁 09/07/19

Lovely 😍

Thanks! Can't believe I've had these since last autumn. They're a bit straggly now but can't get rid of them yet!! @kez001uk

@bluefox23 wow! That’s a long time to still be in flower 😜 and they look great still so don’t blame you!

Nice seeing a block coloured pansy 💛

It’s really quite pretty considering yellow is not one of my favourite colours. 💛 @kez001uk

@bluefox23 you’re not a yellow/orange fan are you 😜

Took this a couple of weeks ago but it’s still flowering profusely. #pansy #rainbowdelight Such a dark intense colour. 😊 02/05/19

Need some #mondaymotivation Hmm! I have a feeling that this so-called #rainbowdelight variety is simply a mixture of different pansies in different colours as this is a blotch pansy but the white and yellow ones weren’t!! Still it’s nice to see it open hiding under the tulip leaves! #purple #pansy 08/04/19

It’s a stunning colour Alison 💜💜

Lol, I'm starting to believe that "mix" and "rainbow" just means leftovers! It's a beautiful color tho

What a rich velvety colour.

@lesliecole49 I think you might be right there! 😉😊

@pelly @novicegardenlover Thanks. It is a lovely shade of purple, a 'proper' pansy colour, if you will!! 💜

Sumptuous 💜👌

Thanks Jeff @jeatacake 😊

Very tatty #pansy different colour of #rainbowdelight has taken ages to open! 😊 17/02/19

#mondaymotivation #rainbowdelight #pansy #white pure and perfect 28/01/19

Perfect 👌

So nice to see something so pretty!! That white just pops out🤗🤗🤗😊💕

Thanks @suerichards and @terrimclaughlin Yes it does really stand out in the dreariness 😊💟

Another colourful 🙄 pansy!!! #rainbowdelight #pansy #white 01/12/18

😂You're getting such a rainbow of colours Alison! 😂

@anges I know!!! 🙄😂 hopefully some of the others will be a bit more colourful!!

I am dazzled by all your colours Alison 🤣🤣🤣

Probably all together make the rainbow? 🤔😂 It's lovely though 😊

🙄🙄great, white isn’t even in the rainbow 🌈😂😂

@jaynehynesburton I know, so bright!! 🙄 what a rainbow!! 😂😂

@natii I can only hope that I get other colours to make a rainbow!! 🤞🏼😊😂

@pelly I hadn’t even thought of that!! 🤣 it’s kind of bright compared to the weather and delicate but I do hope I get more rainbow colours!!

🤞🤞🤞

I'll keep my fingers crossed! 😂🤞🏽

First #rainbowdelight #pansy opened. Hmm 🤔 not sure what’s so ‘rainbow’ 🌈 about it! Another one looks like it’ll be white but still not what I would call a rainbow of colours!! 🤣

Still lovely though 💛

Perfect for these dull days 💛💛

@anges @juliesgarden Thanks. Yes you both make good points!! It is very dainty looking, much more so than my yellow blotch pansy, and bright and cheery. It's just I was hoping for a bit of variety of colour with these pansies, based on their name!! 😊

😁 well yes! Maybe the next few might be different colours?? Fingers crossed ☺

🤞🏼😊 @anges

Spring pots now complete. Bought #pansy #rainbowdelight in clearance £1.50 can't find any info on this variety though. Not sure 2/9 will survive but can't complain for the price. Now just need to keep everything happy over the winter! 😊 06/11/18

@ublaszko No more plant buying till 2020 at the earliest!!! Winter and spring sorted! Seeds to grow for summer and next autumn!!! Will I stick to that!! 🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂 2020? 😲😱😨

I give it 2 weeks before you're back to buy another plant 😉😆😆😆

Oh they are pretty robust hope they perk up for you will be lovely 😄 errr think you may break your promise somehow 😂😂😂

@ublaszko @Keely I fear you may be right!! I’ve been tempted by some succulents I’ve seen in Sainsbury’s!! 🤣🤣 but I do like a challenge!!

They will be fine, just give them time Alison 👍👍

The longest I've managed not to buy a plant is 3 weeks 😅😅

Go ahead and get your succulents from Sainsbury's as then you can garden inside over winter 😁 I've promised myself not to buy so many plants next year as have lots of seeds to grow, but I know I'll give into temptation 😂

@angiecrazycatlady I already have full windowsills and lots of cuttings to tend over the winter, can I really justify getting more plants . . . 🤷‍♀️😂

Always 😂😂😂 you just need to think harder for that justification 😂😂
