When reading about this common wild flower on Wikipedia I found that this plant has lots of different names:
- wild pansy
- Jonny Jump up (also the name of yellow pansy)
- hearts ease
- hearts delight
- tickle-my-fancy
- Jack-jump-up-and-kiss-me
- come-and-cuddle-me
- three faces in a hood
- love-in-idleness
- pink of my john
Why all these different names I don’t know, these names was listed in the English translation of Wikipedia. In Norway the common name for these flowers is “night-and-day” or “flower of the stepmother”. I think the Latin name, Viola tricolor, suits this beautiful flower best.
