Reflecting your thoughts.....


Scientific name: Viola sp.
Pansy is one of the most widely cultivated garden plant. Usually the modern viola cultivars are the Viola tricolour hybridized with other viola species. These are cool weather flowers. The flowers are almost heart shaped with overlapping petals and a combination of violet, red and white colours. The striking feature is the face like center markings, which when observed from different angles gives a distinct look and reflects in different moods or thoughts. These big blotches which resemble faces make them one of the favourite flowers of gardeners. This photograph was taken from the Botanical garden, Ooty on 27.04.2011, while on a family trip.
