Thought

Due to its resemblance to a face, the name pansy is derived from the French word pen'ee meaning "thought". Also varieties that grow sometime look as though they are nodding forward in thought. The flower's meaning tends to be "you're in my thoughts".They maybe food for the rabbits now but they will come back in the Spring.
And to see them bright like little sun shine in the dark cold winter is joy.

I did not know this. It would make a perfect gift then wouldn't it? I still cannot post a comment from wordpress, at the bottom of your box you do not show that option. That's why you haven't seen me here, sigh. http://hundredsofideas.wordpress.com Darla
