Day 299: The people who annually plant non-native flowers in an illegal "memorial" site in the Park once again contributed to my garden at some point between Mother's Day and Easter when they bedded in two pots of pansies (left and right). I'd love to catch them in the act, and have been tempted to stake out the site, but I do not have law enforcement capabilities, although I betcha I could make their ears burn. In any event, I have a spot in the front flower bed in which pansies do quite well, but even so, I'm surprised to see them flourishing despite several periods of hot, dry weather. They were refreshed by a good rain last night, and if they want to re-seed, they're welcome to try. On the other hand, the violas (aka Johnny-jump-ups) in the middle image are a pest, and as such, are remarkably persistent. Still, they're colour, and at this point in summer, I'll take all the happy faces I can get.
