apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

Or is it the pansy doesn't fall far from the pansy-filled hanging basket? Either way, I thought this was pretty cool. And the ONLY thing in my yard that's worth sharing (see last post for reference). Speaking of apples, my grandmother is getting us an apple tree as a late Christmas gift - pretty cool!

So, here's the deal: Last winter/early spring I had a hanging basket that had a ton of multi-colored pansies hanging at the end of our driveway, next to the irises. Well, what I initially believed to be weeds, turned out to be some purple pansies in the area right below the hanging basket. I'm sure there's a scientific way to demonstrate exactly how the seeds (do pansies even have seeds?) got transferred from the basket to the ground, but I'm not going to pretend to know how it happened - and no, I didn't plant these pansies so I'll just show you my pictures. Please note, the hanging basket this year also has purple pansies....pure coincidence.
