Pansy
Pansies are popular garden annuals.
Any of several species or varieties of violet, in which the flat, 5-petalled flowers are held in a vertical plane and often resemble a face, the effect being heightened by honey-guide markings on the petals. The cultivated pansy, developed as a cottage garden flower c.1830, has large flowers with overlapping petals in a wider range of colours. (Genus: Viola. Family: Violaceae.)
