I bet that was a wonderful sight to see. Post a picture. I'd love to see the pansies. How long is the growing season for plants in Alaska?

oh..you know you can clip those and press them between sheets of paper towels..use a heavy book like a phone book, and just layer the dry flowers on a sheet of paper toweling. I have sooo many dry pansy flowers that I must do something with soon..I'm thinking I will be crafting something real soon with them.

You are so lucky Connie - I love pansies. I remember we had them as volunteers when I was a kid and they would cross-pollinate and we got some really cool color combinations!!
