Johnny Jump Up

Black Forest, CO

Self-portrait, Rule-of-thirds w/Purple & Bokeh ":^)
A Johnny Jump Up - Heartsease (Viola tricolor) is a common European wild flower, growing as an annual or short-lived perennial. It has been introduced into North America, where it has spread widely, and is known as the Johnny Jump Up (though this name is also applied to similar species such as the Yellow Pansy). It is the progenitor of the cultivated Pansy, and is therefore sometimes called the Wild Pansy; before the cultivated Pansies were developed, "pansy" was an alternative name for the wild form.

Thanks, CJ & Fly. Nico - Thanks to you for this and the 'Boog' comment. These Johnnies are the most hardy little rascals. We've had two snow storms already, one of two feet, melted away, quite a few nites of frost and there they are, still blooming. Thanks again, -mikey
