  • Dear Trudy, This is a lovely album with all the pretty little flowers that are easy to grow and last a long time. They may be small in size, but they are big in personality and radiate energy - especially the pansies, whose little faces remind me of people and whose wide variety of bright colours never fail to lift my spirits! As you say, no two are ever alike, so you cannot tire of them. I would say that they give our garden its character. We have a magnificent clematis, glorious lilies and a fiery rhododendron, but once their moments of glory have passed, there is nothing else until the following year, but the little pansies and petunias last for months and are a perpetual delight. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful collection. Kind regards, Kathryn

  • Dear Trudy, I had a pleasant new visit; The last image is wonderful, an excellent exercise to play and master ACDSee tools to restore its exquisite beauty! With affection, Jacques

  • Hi Trudy, this is a delightful album. I love pansies so much...I would love to have a bouquet right now. Your album was a good fix for me. Your petunias were lovely as well, I certainly have enjoyed my visit. Thank you for your kind G/B comments. Leigh

  • Thank you so much for your kind words in my featured album, Trudy. It made my day. I had so many reactions, that it is almost impossible to have a look at your pictures at the moment. I hope to return later to your albums. Groeten, Mieke

  • My Dear Trudy, You have such a special skill to capture the essence of these lovely flowers! As it is my preferred colour, I have loved all the blue pansies but I must confess that the black ones are uncommon and stunning; That is an album of joy and an album of love, with affection Jacques

  • Oh Trudy, it is wonderful to see your new pansies and violas, they are the prettiest little flowers and it always amazes me how they survive through long cold winters to brighten up our early spring days. Love all your new additions. Hope you are having fun and doing well. Love Ya, Candy

  • Thank you for your nice message in January when my Flowers were featured. I just enjoyed your pansy and petunia album in particular. Pansies really are my favorite flower. I noticed you make up planters too. I'm looking forward to pansy season again. I also like climbing morning glories and grew the ones in my photos. There is a secret to sprouting their seeds quickly. Put them on a moist cheap paper napkin in a sandwich ziplock bag and they sprout in a day or 2. Then I put them in dirt. I've tried other things but the napkin works best as the roots don't get stuck in the fibers and break. Actually, I sprout any number of seeds the same way. Talk to you again, Donna, NY State

  • Yes Trudy, it is a wonderful place. Not only the flowers are beautiful, but they also assembled them in a cool way with a "painting with orchids" theme :o) Thanks for your kind words! Ciao! Roberto

  • Hello Trudy, Just trying to find my place where I left off with my featured album gb comments. Maybe I already thanked you? Anyway Thanks once, or twice for your sweet entry in my featured album. I can't believe how behind I am, wish I could stay longer but need to get this done. I will visit you soon, so many of your albums I still haven't visited. Hugs, Laura

  • Dear Trudy, how have you been of late? I see no new album on your site! Is it too cold to go out? Hope you both are in good health! Thank you dearly for the kind message left in our album (with the latest additions). Always paying attention, which thing puts me much to shame. How is winter over there? We had just one day of snow, now it is sunshine and blue sky, but cold.Take good care of yourselves! Best regards from Gabriela

  • Hello Trudy, This is a lovely album, petunias are one of my personal favorites and I like the way you showed the barrel newly planted and then 3 weeks later how full and pretty it turned out. Hope you are doing well. Candy

  • Liebe Trudy!!! Wie habe ich mich über deinen GBE gefreut!!! Now I'll go on in English, because I do not know if it is easy for you reading in German! God bless you dear friend. I will look at this fantastic album later, we are short before going to church now and I do not have much time at the moment. BUT I'll come back later and FOR SURE I'll have a closer look into your albums. From this one I just saw the first page and it is awesome how beautiful this little Pansies are! And you did a wonderful job taking so nice photos! Dear Trudy - it is so good to hear that you are a born Vienniese, I embrace you from across the pond! I live very close to Salzburg, just over the boraderline in Freilassing/Bavaria. God bless you dear friend and take care! Love and a big hug - Trixi :-)

  • Hello Trudy, Two of my favorite flowers and you did a great job photographing them. Thank you for listing me as a favorite. I in turn have added you too since you are one of my favorites also. I wish it could have been to hereslaura, but it has been full for a long time so I added you to my 2nd homepage "Nannygoose" it is just a couple albums so far.. but for sure it will grow quickly. Hugs, Laura

  • Hi Trudy, It's good to see all those colourful pansies in this time of the year, as over here there is not a flower to be seen. It gives me a bit of a summerfeeling. Where did you see a black pansy by the way? I wish you a very prosperous 2006, Tjebbe

  • Hello Trudy and I love your pansies and petunias. I'm a bit of a flower person myself but I tend to concentrate mainly on wildflowers, in season and roses. Even so it is very noticeable that your petunias and ours are virtually identical despite us being on opposite sides of the globe. I was delighted to read your comments in my featured Fabulous Beaches album this morning and thank you very much. I sincerely hope that 2006 is a great year for you with an abundance of good health and happiness. Best regards, Peter in Western Australia

  • Hi Trudy....What gorgeous pansies and petunias, so colourful. I have never seen a black pansy but it is still so beautiful. I love the white ones and they do make a nice border in a garden. My favourites are always the deep purple and mauve ones. I like the red pansies here too and especially the deep red ones. I can never tell the difference between pansies and petunias, but now seeing them together, I can. Thank you also for signing my guestbook for Christmas cards and all the other times you have signed that I did not get back to you. At times I am not on the computer for a while and then I don't reply. This is a beautiful album and thanks for sharing it. I wish you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season. I dare to say Merry Christmas because you did look at the Christmas album. Warm wishes from Canada, Barbara

  • Dear Trudy, these may be very common flowers, but they have such joyful colours and a pleasure to the eye! They seem smiling all the time!Those gorgeous black pansies - a fist time see! I believe that both pansies and petunias are of great effect when grown in big numbers and of various colours. Enjoyed the display of colours! A warm hug to you, dear Friend, from Gabriela
