Embrace the spirit of resilience and solidarity with Pansy Mix, a captivating assortment of hardy pansies (Viola wittrockiana) that bloom with unwavering determination and vibrant hues. Originating from the French word "pensee," meaning "thought," the pansy has endured a complex history, evolving from a symbol of contemplation to a term used as a derogatory slur against LGBTQIA+ individuals.
In recognition of this history, artist Paul Harfleet's Pansy Project seeks to reclaim the pansy's essence by planting these resilient flowers at sites of homophobic abuse, transforming them into symbols of resilience and defiance. Much like the LGBTQIA+ community, pansies thrive in adversity, blooming brightly even in the face of adversity and discrimination.
With their ability to bloom through snow and frost, pansies serve as a powerful reminder of the resilience and fortitude inherent within the LGBTQIA+ community. By cultivating Pansy Mix in your garden, you not only adorn your surroundings with vibrant colors but also stand in solidarity with those who have faced prejudice and adversity.
