My late husband loved pansies with definite faces on them. Each March we'd go to the local garden center and get lots of face pansies in all kinds of colors.
Years ago I would grow them. They have a very long growing season and have to be started in January. Starting seedlings in January got to be too much and I stopped doing it.
oh I hope then they bring lovely memories as one of their meanings is remembrance. :) I have a little terrace and pots but I don't have them myself at the moment, still I love them and my friend gifted me that pansy printed cape.
