These pansies are no pansies!

My wife loves to garden. On the deck she planted some pansies in a pot. As of today, they have gone through a number of killing frosts, and yet they thrive!

A person who is not strong or resilient may be called a pansy. And yet these flowers would suggest just the opposite.

So maybe we need a new name for people of weakened resilience. Maybe we shouldn't call them pansies!
