Pansies


I read that the word pansy comes from the french word pensee for thought. I didn't know that but I guess they believed that the flowers look somewhat like human faces "in thought" when in certain positions. To me, they look friendly and I love to see them this time of year. Some of their centers look like butterflies!

  3. Hi cao,

    L'un des nombreux symboles sur les pierres tombales! Je pense un bon choix pour la memoire...et l'humilite.

    One of many symbols on grave stones! I think it's a good choice for remembrance ...and humility.
