[Opinions] Re: Rose, Violet, and Lily
Technically Viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae; pansies are violas, so they are violets. Usually when Americans talk about violets I assume they mean African violets (which are sort of common as houseplants here but aren't "true" violets) or something like that, though I do also picture wild violets which are like wild pansies (which garden/hybrid pansies are related to).
