- as of Feb 7, 2019 - it is still not Spring for 41 days - but, today the temperature was in the 80s - almost like Florida weather, but without the humidity - temperature will go down - and down as the norm for this time of year in North Carolina - but, until it does - it will be enjoyed [ can you imagine having ceiling fans on in February ? ] - well, they are ! - this photo of Daffs-to-be are surrounded by various stages of Arrowroot - most will get pulled up, but the birds are enjoying what can be found under it all 3 PiP across the top © All rights reserved

Their cheerful "faces," often whiskered or otherwise marked, brighten the dreariest day in spring. Use them at the front of beds or borders as edging plants, as bedding plants, in containers and window boxes, in herb gardens, in wild gardens and in rock gardens too. There is a multitude of forms, many now winter hardy in cold climates, in all sizes and colors. Cut back straggly stems and deadhead routinely to prolong blooming. They self-seed freely, but are not invasive. Violets do best in lightly shaded places in soil that remains moist. - but some call them Pansy .. seems to depend on what one reads - - both are beauties !
