Well, it may have ranked hundreds ahead of the other wine shops in that city. If so, it is the place to go. I see that they are hiring so it may move up in the rankings once the new staff are on the floor. Or the staff may have quit once they realized how low the shop was ranked, hence the need for new employees. Who knows.

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.

Well, I always thought so too. Till last year when a blue pansy grew among the gravel thanks to a bird gift.
Very poor soil if any.
Last winter was covered by snow . And it's back! Some others came back in a big vase I have on the balcony but that ones weren't covered by the snow even if we had a very long and cold winter.

yes, they do prefer colder weather to hot weather, so in a mild season they might overwinter; snow can be insulating!

some pansies (like johnny jump ups) self seed quite easily as you found out with the blue one.

I didn't know its name:LOL
But it couldn't have jumped so far and cut a corner too. It probably took a ride with a bird
