plumbers pansy Although closely related to the naked pansy and the stone pansy, this pansy tends to grow out of crevices... or rather tends to show it's crevices... tee hee. This pansy was sighted outside a castle in a little town called Traversa in Tuscany. You have probably seen more than one plumbers pansy... or rather more than one pansies plumbing... It's another Statue... I bet you worked that out by yourself... |

pagan pansy One of the oldest on earth, the pagan pansy walks for miles before settling it's roots around anncient druidic stone circles... i'm not joking, it was quite a hike. This one was spotted at one of the many stone circles on the Isle of Arran. Please note the extremely appropriate accessory... it's a really bad photo of Me |
 |
naked pansy The naked pansy, also known as the 'size does count pansy'... okay I don't know where I'm going with this... but this one was seen in front of the (fakey) statue of David in Florence. Don't worry Niall, you're not the only one worrying about the boys michaelangelo dated... |

leaning pansy Through the years scientists have made many attempts to make this peculiar breed of pansy stand up straight, with little success as you can tell. This leaning pansy was spotted in front of the leaning tower of Pisa, which many horticulturists believe was originally called the leaning tower of Pansy, named for the lovely blossom in the foreground. The leaning pansy can also be found outside nightclubs after a very heavy night. mwa mwa mwa... thanks Chris. |
 |
water pansy The water pansy is truly rare, but can be spotted floating around on boats, ships and ferries all around the world, this one was seen being buffeted by the wind on a ferry from Scotland to the Isle of Arran... you wouldn't be wrong if you think that this pansy looks alot like the highlands pansy... they are very close relatives... some might even say they are the same pansy... Thanks again Mommy. |

wild pansy Our very first traveling pansy turns out to be the lovely lady who's idea it was in the first place and shows evidence of the rare wild pansy found in the Kruger National Park. Wild pansies are favoured as a snack by large hairy animals (as seen in the background) when traveling in the Kruger Park one should always be aware that an elephant never forgets... ahem. A big special thank-you to the brains behind the traveling pansy and our first ever traveling pansy: Olivia Tesson... Mwa |
