Enchanting Pansies
On this day Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol ("Sar-ee-all") wrote in his diary:
"I find it hard to come in from the flower borders. My Pansies are a garden of enchantment in themselves. People who love Pansies should grow them from seed. I took the advice and I have never had such a profusion of bloom and of so many colors."
