Love-in-idleness

The variety of this beautiful flower and its color combinations is incredible: from pure white to almost black with all kinds of shades of yellow, blue, red. Interesting fact: Pansies symbolize love and thoughts of loved ones. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare presents pansies juice as an ingredient of a love potion, alluding to the use of the flower by the ancient Greeks and Celts in herbal drinks for sexual stimulation.
