I adore these little Johnny Jump Ups and their big Sister Pansy. Grandad grew them along with roses ... I always went for the real stars under the roses lol. I've got some ready to flower through our winter - they are jumping out in pots and the ground and hopefully I'll get some more at the weekend market. Smiles*!*
