Where art and horticulture meet.

Seeds: Although the word pansy has its origins in the French pensee, meaning "thought," the word became a slur directed toward gay, effeminate, or gender-nonconforming men. Hardy plants that can bloom through the snow, pansies intrinsically embody the resilience and fortitude at the core of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Specific: Viola wittrockiana.

In this artwork by Paul Harfleet, the pansy takes its rightful place among many symbols representing the strength of the LGBTQIA+ community.
