Violets, Pansies and Daisies

These have always been some of my favorite summer plants, especially the violets with the purple and yellow blooms. For my own referance, they are distinguishable by the following physical trates: Violets have five petals, with two pointing up and three pointing down. Pansies have four petals pointing up and one pointing down. Daisies have many small flowers, called florets, surrounded by bracts. Daisies are usually white or pink, but there are many different types of daisies. Pansies come in a wide range of colors, including red, purple, blue, bronze, pink, yellow, black, lavender, white, orange, and burgundy. Violets come in a wide range of colors, including purple, blue, yellow, and white.
