field pansies with tiny purple & white flowers

my lawn is slowly turning into violets & wild pansies and i love it

hadn't planned to, but my dandelions tend to replant themselves regardless lol

ebay 😆 you can set an alert that emails you. there’s actually another listing right now with 20 seeds left! these are my first attempt so i dont know yet about germination.

a cat standing in a cleared path. the uncleared snow is approximately cat height
