Status Updates From Pansies: How to Grow, Reima...

“Do age and blemishing mean a flower is incapable of accomplishing its purpose? I don't believe so…

Many flowers are at their most beautiful just before the petals drop—when they have been well loved by the bees and butterflies, and after they have been touched by the cool night breeze and the morning dew…gather and celebrate them down to the last petal.

“They don’t have to be perfect to be celebrated.”

“Difficult seasons are likely going to be more frequent than ideal ones…as long as there are springs, there are opportunities to try again: to do it differently because it didn’t work, or do it the same way because it did and it was amazing.”

Winter is the right time of year for all these beautiful photographs.

There’s no flower I’m quite as obsessed with as pansies and violas and I’ve been going crazy waiting for this book!! Brenna Estrada is an exceptional writer and gardener and I’m in heaven right now
