But where does this pretty flower come from?

The pansy is a herbaceous plant native to Europe. It grows from autumn to spring in shaded fields on uncultivated mountain lands, meadows, harvest and pasture fields. In Antiquity, it was recognized as a love potion and a symbol of remembrance, hence its name: pansy (thought). Greek legend tells that Zeus, king of the gods, was in love with a beautiful young woman named Io. To protect her from the wrath of Hera, his wife, he turned her into a young heifer. To feed her the most delicate grass, he commanded the Earth to create in her honor a flower worthy of her, which he named after the beautiful maiden (which gave viola in Latin).
