Viola tricolor
It is the progenitor of the cultivated Pansy, and is therefore sometimes called Wild Pansy; before the cultivated Pansies were developed, "Pansy" was an alternative name for the wild form. Also called Johnny Jump up and Heartsease

Thanks Emma.....they got buried under another snow storm yesterday! Glad I got out when I did to catch their smiling faces!

They are delightful aren't they? I always think of them as smiling flowers
