Yesterday I planted daffodils and pansies on our Ponte a Serraglio balcony. In autumn last year I had to take the old daffodils away as they were taking over the pots. They now live at Casa Debbio and are just about to flower.
My new plantings look a bit meagre, but the pansies will grow and be gorgeous in no time.
They certainly brighten up an overcast winter day.
Lovely pot plants every late winter. You sure have a green thumb Deb.

It is still winter and I like it that way, but the daffodils are a sign that spring isn’t far away.

I will do the bridge next week. The weather has changed a bit and is now overcast and a bit chilly.

What lovely vibrant colours. Your Ponte balcony brings pleasure to so many people. We are currently experiencing Storm Doris in the UK, so I will be glad to leave on Sunday. I am spending March in Lucca, it will be lovely to catch up with you Debra.

Pansies are not only pretty but they seem quite sturdy. I recall seeing them under snow in Venice, and then chipper as could be in a day or two.
