It is the progenitor of the cultivated Pansy, and is therefore sometimes called <strong>Wild Pansy<\/strong>; before the cultivated Pansies were developed, &#8220;Pansy&#8221; was an alternative name for the wild form.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was a kid, we called these diminutive flowers Johnny Jump Ups.
