Pansy - the flower with ”face”

in #nature7 years ago

Hello everyone! We all love flowers and I'm sure you've often heard about their symbolism . Today I did a little research and I want to share some interesting things about pansies:
Did you know that the name of the pansy, comes from the French word "pensee" which means "thought"?!
According to the legend, it is said that the pansy was a white flower, but turned violet when it was pierced by Cupid's arrow.
There is also a superstition that, if you watch carefully a pansy, you can see the face of your boyfriend / girlfriend. Some call it "the flower with face".

I wish you all a wonderful saturday !
