First Bloom this Spring

This is my first bloom of the season. I am so excited! This plant has many common names. I call it "Johnny Jump Ups". These plants were in my mom's garden when I was young. I love them. I would pick them,bring them into the house, and my mom would put them in a vase.

They are also called: Heartsease, Wild Pansy, Love-In-Idleness, Call-Me-To-You, Pinkeney John. They are in the Viloa family.

The flower meaning is Happy Thoughts. I think that is a perfect name. They have always gave me happy thoughts.
