    Them look like purple pansys to me, instead of the violas.

    Actually we are both correct as Pansies are a hybrid of Violas. I never knew that before I started checking it out.

    I love Johnny-Jump-Ups! They grow between my pavers if the dogs don't stamp them out. Yours are the color that I love the most that deep purple all over. Some of mine also have the yellow centers. A perfect little miniature!

    Those are so pretty. They're grown as annuals here, and popular in gardens and grave yards since they need so little care to look good.
