Pretty Face

As a kid pansies and violas were my favourite flowers because I loved the velvetiness of them and their cute wee faces.

I'm still partial to them and I felt sorry for this wee one today - as it was obviously crying. I thought maybe it felt unloved so I was telling it how pretty it was, but it told me that boys aren't pretty and that he was crying because his girlfriend turned her back on him and was eyeing up the phlox next door.

Life can be tough in the flowerbed.
