HelpRe: Pansy
in reply to a message by Perrine
No, it doesn't.
The slang isn't a big deal imo but, the flower is a cultivated flower, it's not a wildflower, and that really wrecks the flower-name aspect for me. Should be Viola.
And it sounds like pantsy.
Case closed.

Semantics. Wild pansy and garden pansy are both technically violas but both commonly called pansies, anyway. Most people are more familiar with the cultivated kind, but that's true of lots of flowers, including roses.

Huh, you do educate me. I've never heard those called pansies. Those are johnny-jump-ups to me. My mom called them that. I have some in a pot outside right now. Pansies were always the big ones with the amazing colors and contrasts (which I really like).
