Beautiful banner and pic Leon.
I love violas and pansies, but so do the wild cottontail rabbits.
One year I planted 24 violas. In a couple of days, one or more wild rabbits ate all of them down to the ground and they never grew and/or bloomed again. I've planted violas and pansies in containers and they ate them all up. I'd like to plant them again, but if I do, I'd have to plant them into a tall container to keep the rabbits from getting to them.
