Anyone who knows the name of this flower?
I have never seen it before and it's beautiful!
That should be a Veilchen aka Violet
Thanks!
I realize now that I have seen Violet before😅, but not that specific pattern.
The pattern in the middle looks like someone took a bucket of purple color and splash it onto the flower. Beautiful!
my gramps used to have them in a ton of different colors and even in super mini size.

it’s actually a pansy, which is in the violet family but where i live they are sold as annuals, just for one season till they die back. they are highly hybridized to bloom in fun and different colors.

Oh well the german word for the pansy flower is Mother in law.....okayyyyy
So now I am deep diving into the differences which is aparently the leaf size of the bloom and bloom length as well as violets being from another region. How interesting ´never thought these were two different plants
OMG I JUST LOOKED UP WHAT PANSZY MEANS IN MY LANGUAGE

I don't know what it means in your language, but here it is very occasionally used as a slang for a man who isn't "manly." But it's not objectionable to use it as the proper flower name.Ah okay I had to translate to english. Isnt pansy something not too nice to say to someone?

its the same as the f word (brits use this for cigarette) it says in trnalsation apps.
I would suspect that the original slang insult might have its “roots” in a lack of tolerance for heat. Pansies are the first plant to show up in garden centers because they withstand cold snaps really well. Once it gets hot they don’t do so well.
Sometimes this, but unfortunately we have plenty of other alternatives in English.
Blue sky over house yesterday, spring is here finally 70’s and 80’s F for temperatures.
.. a best attempt to single out one blossum, from a shrub of many blossum clusters, all of which seemed to be hanging over, and not providing a frontal view -- wished to capture the trumpet-looking shape.
