Appreciating & defending #pansies 💜💛💚💜
I get upset when folks use #pansy as an insult/implied weakness. Pansies are hella tough flowers.#Bloomscrolling #Autumn #flowers #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland #PNW #Tough #botanical #florespondence #plants #FallFlowers #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #HardyPlants #RainyDay #Saanich #VictoriaBC #gardening #ContainerGardening

In honour of today being #InternationalBearDay (apparently), an entry in the "Canadians are tough!" hall of fame.
Excerpt from a news story:
"Two separate fatal bear attacks within days of each other in May of 1983 sparked concern [...] One of the bears was later killed when it attacked two Saskatoon men in Nipawin Provincial Park. [Retired police officer] stabbed the creature to death with a long-bladed filleting knife ..."
Hey, what'd you do this weekend, Bill?
Oh, not a lot. Went camping. Won a knife fight with a bear.

#November 27, 1970
#OTD Karl Forster, #German #Plant #Breeder, died.At 18, he took over his family's Berlin nursery, which was a mess.
Karl #Streamlined the #Business by #Simplifying his #Plant inventory. He was especially drawn to #Tough, #LowMaintenance, #Hardy #Perennials.
Karl used 3 factors to determine whether a plant would be sold in his #Nursery: #Beauty, #Resilience, & #Endurance.
Karl once wrote,
"A #Garden without #Phlox is not only a sheer mistake but a #Sin against #Summer."
