Pansies & Violas on the balcony
This morning I set about moving the Pansies ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ into the 3 troughs on the middle bar of the balcony railings.
My son brought me the 2 trays of Pansies I asked him to get me last Saturday so I will have work to do on the balcony during the coming week! He also brought the bag of compost I asked him to get me.
I didn’t take a picture of the bag of compost as I didn’t think anyone would be interested! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Thanks, Jane! Yes they do look good, don't they? I haven't taken any close up shots yet but the Pansies 'Frizzle Sizzle' have a few flower buds with colour though no actual open flowers at present. They should open fully before the week is out & then I can take some close up photos (aka Macros).

You are going to have a riot of colour soon! Looking forward to seeing more photos.

They'll be beautiful Balc when the flower buds open. I'm looking forward to seeing them and your Amaryllis when they're in flower..

Bush Bernie, that's precisely what I'm aiming for! I checked the flower buds this morning &, though still very tiny, there is at least one flower that's beginning to open! I will see if I can get a close up (macro) shot tomorrow.
Thanks, Janey! I'm looking forward to seeing them flower. As for the Amaryllis, don't hold your hopes up for seeing a picture soon, they are unlikely to flower before the Daffodils do next spring!

Hello Balcony - your pansies and violas look really healthy - you are on the way to having a lovely winter show - we bought some violas last weekend from Dobbies - just past Oswestry - they are for our window boxes plus I am putting spring bulbs in this week - we have 3 boxes - Jane
