Viola tricolor, known as Pansy, is originally from Eurasia and has several symbolisms, one of which is eternal love.
Also known as Trindade herb for the variety of 3 colors. They prefer cold climates, making the winter more beautiful.
When offered, they convey the message of a love that will never be forgotten, whose memories will remain in thought.
They are also associated with reflection, thinking and loving memories, so much so that in France it is called "Pensée".
There is a legend around Zeus and a lover named Io, from where the name "pansy" originated. Afraid that Hera would find out about Io, Zeus turned her into a heifer that was grazing at her feet. Zeus felt sorry for Io and afraid she would be upset about just eating grass, he decided to create the flower for her to also eat. Zeus gave the flower the name Io, with the phonetic evolution came to be called Viola, which responds to pansy.
Another legend is that Eros was very fond of pansies that were initially only white, but Aphrodite decided to paint them purple to irritate Eros so that he lost interest in flowers. Still in Greek mythology, the violas are dedicated to Athena, goddess of military strategy, wisdom and the arts.
